Olympus' VisionAge #7, "The Zuiko Story (7) -- A History of Olympus Cameras"
shows that the Olympus S, which was introduced in 1962,
included the phrase "Electro Set" on the front of the camera, just below the
silicone cell. No other cameras illustrated include this
label so I suspect this is the model you are referring to.
In that year Olympus also introduced the Auto Eye II, "Japan's first 35mm auto
exposure camera", says the article. The S (aka,
"Electro Set"), on the other hand, provided full manual controls but included a
"coupled exposure meter". The lens was a G. Zuiko (7
element) 42mm f/1.8 with a Copal 00 shutter.
