STB Meeting - Remember Automatic Alarm - AS 5008 very rare

This is a very rare STB automatic alarm powered by the legendary AS calibre 5008. There weren't that many automatic alarm calibre even back in the hayday of the 60s and 70s. Only Omega(Lemania), LeCoultre, Seiko and A. Schild have developed automatic alarm calibres. Only the 5008 are sold as ebauches to other smaller watch manufacturers. In fact I had encountered a relatively new modern Maurice Lacroix (in the 90s) that were fitted with they AS 5008.

I have learned that the company STB was an manufacturer of pigeon racing clock/timer as their main business. So somewhere in time (most likely to be in the 70s) someone at STB had commissioned a batch of wristwatches and designed a illustrated pigeon dial to go with it. There are a white dial version as well.
