wonderful piece of HMTs history. Someone told me that the initial 6500 was a bidirectional winding watch, later it was modified to be unidirectional winding only, thus the U on the later dials.
Current Citizen (Miyota) movements are unidirectional winding including the 90xx series. However I was able to lay my hands on some old citizen manuals. From what I understood from those manuals, some of their older movements appear to be ofbidirectional winding type. Here is a relevant page describing the auto winding of the citizen 6500. It appears to be bidirectional.I have certainly read that, but like so much HMT information, it is hard to authenticate.
I wonder whether perhaps anybody here can tell me why some examples of the HMT Automatic are marked "day-date"? I would also love to know when they were introduced, and when they morphed into or were renamed (I don't know which) Rajat.

A very uncommon Avinash BD (1978 NOS) with lume hands!!. Brushed steel casing with the black dial and white indices, it really standsout from the crowd.

I rightly said in previous post "aur kitne ajoobe dikhavoge mere dost"The watch on my wrist today....VISHWAS
With due apologies to HMT, the extra "S" stands for Saurabh whose casing was cannibalised for making this Vishwa"s"

Hari Ji, that's interesting to know. Yes HMT indeed evokes fond memoriesActually many Titan dealers used to handle HMT earlier. Many will tell you that it was due to selling HMT that their business expanded. HMT evokes fond memories from buyers and sellers alike.
