You either have a "GT402 Fachhandellogo" (only date window at 3 o'clock position) or a "GT702 Fachhandellogo" (date and day of week window at 3 o'clock position), sold in 1983 only in Switzerland and only at "Fachhandel" shops (specialist dealer / specialist jewellers).

There are 13(!) different Fachhandellogo watches in total, limited to 2000 pcs each. So your watch is very rare (1983 Swatches are rare, and Fachhandellogo are much more rare). Here are the two of the 13 watches that match your description:

GT402FHL:

GT702FHL:

To make things more confusing: The watch can either have a "small" or a "large" Fachhandellogo on the dial. On the pictures above, the GT402 has a large Fachhandellogo on the dial while the GT702 has a small Fachhandellogo on the dial.

As far as I know, each of the 13 different Fachhandellogo Swatches exist with "small" and "large" Fachhandellogo but I am not sure about that. Can anyone confirm?
