I’d guess late 1970s on the Honda.
Only because I had a very similar watch (not Honda though) from around 1978. They may have used that frame for many years.
If you remove the back plates, there may be date codes on the plate reverses.

Too much glare for me to read the back. Did you remove the back plate and look for more info?

I can't remove the backplate on the Honda Watch but I got a pic of the back but on the sweda I was able to remove the back and I took some pictures of the inside of the plate and inside of the back of the watch I don't know if this will help but here you go did you ever figure out what the Red C stood for on the sweda watch how old is the sweda watch

A little research shows the Sweda at $10 to $15 asking price for similar watches, but different logo on faces. I don’t know the logo meaning. I’d guess a chemical company or blood bank.
The swissebauches refers to a partially assembled movement (kit) sold to manufacturers. In this case Chinese. 🍀
