My watchmaker sold me this one, after researching it, come to find out it's basically a Gallet MultiChron Regulator signed Imperial! According to the gallet website, Gallet had exclusive rights to the Venus 140 and sold complete MultiChron regulator watches to GP, Rolex, and others (including Imperial) Look at the dial on the Gallet MultiChron Regulator at the link below then my Harvard Dial below (The watch in the link is a 1 button but they later came out with a 2 button with this same dial)...virtually the same watch except for the markings. He cleaned it installed new mainspring and had the dial redone at int'l. (Dial was shot) I am delighted!

34MM I believe...little smaller than a Rolex

This model of gallet is interesting...Harry S Truman wore one during the war and all thru his presidency...(black dial military style one in link above) Neat history.
