Anyone heard of Algex brand watches?

I have a men's Algex Automatic diver's watch that appears to be fairly vintage (I am guessing 1960's-1980's) It seems very well made and heavy like a high-end watch, but I can find no information on the brand.

Is it possible that it is Alflex, not Algex - lots of google hits for Alfex.....

I'd say it is just another random brandname. I have never heard of it and it is not a known 'quality' name.

I found  info on a company called Algex.  Algex Watches Australia is a Jewelry-Watches-Wholesale business serving the Melbourne community in Victoria, Australia. I found an ended auction for a Swiss ladies watch private labeled with their name Algex. It is possible that your watch is by a well known maker but was private labeled for this company to sell under their name. Pictures of the watch and it's movement may help some of some of the people more acquainted with wrist watches then I am help you identify it.

I had an algex watch as a kid ( around 40yrs ago) , it had a swiss automatic movement from memory . I have been trying to get some info on the brand for some time with little success. Have you found out anything new since your original post ?

Interestingly I was given a beautiful Swiss automatic divers watch for Christmas 1980, I was 12. It was stolen when I was 17 and the brand was definitely Algex. The watch was beautifully made with screw lens, stainless steel body and bezel and was much the superior to the then very popular Seiko Sports 100.
Definitely Swiss. Wish I could find a replacement.

I have an algex watch. It's Lovely. I bought it from paddington market in Sydney about 12 years ago. I don't know the history but I'd say it's an old Australian brand.
