Featured 1970's TECHNOS DIGILIGHT ERROR ON DIAL?

I found this at a local pawn shop yesterday. I knew Technos watches but hadn't seen this shape before.
I thought I'd found it when I found circa 1970's Technos Digilight Automatic watches. They look EXACTLY like mine - but on the dial where they say Technos Digilight automatic; mine says: Technos Digital Automatic!
I have looked & looked but can't find oner one like mine. Was it a misspelling?
Is mine a early - or later - version?
Also looking it up I see other ones described as 'Water Resistant' - mine says Water Proof' tested to 5 AT. Is that another difference?
I bought this watch for $150 hoping to flip it (the digilights sell for $400+ - $600+) but I can't list it because I don't know what I have!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

 

nice watch....

 

Maybe they made it in 2 versions? Did Digilight have a face that lit up? 'Looks just like, except...' is frequently means 'fake', especially when the only obvious difference is a slight change to a name that is not quite the same. Careful, keep doing your homework to be sure.

 

I bet there's something to what @Bronwen is saying re 2 versions -- maybe the light could not survive the waterPROOF test, so ended up with the water RESISTANT label.

Keep in mind, I first heard of TECHNOS watches when reading this thread.

 

The pawn shop owner is a friend - the watch is real I'm sure, or he'll give me my money back. I may try to contact company or a vintage watch forum if no one know here (that would be a first!)

 

I've never seen one before in my life, but I'd wear it!

 

i had one like it , but a Tissot.

this is the one but it had a blue face...bought for me as a gift from the folks on a trip to Switzerland......
Now if I can only find it...it has eluded me for years.....

Interesting that the watch above is the same as yours with a different face name....and all like yours seem to say Digilight.....as if a trademark of sorts....

 

No, mine says Digital - if it said Digilight I'd be happy; they're worth $300 - $400

 

Yours is the earlier version, and possibly rarer.

Manufacturers stopped claiming things were waterproof and switched to water resistant possibly on the advice of their lawyers. Anyway, waterproof is earlier. These things were a commercial flop so now well ripe for being collectable.
Dropping the name Digital may have been because some other maker already used it.

 

Many companies made this style of time piece...but the trend turned to very thin and light watches & these monsters were cast aside..
