The case and dial match a Duo Wind except no black dial Duo Wind are in the DB. The hands do not match the other Duo Wind watches either.
The case dial and hands all match the lumed Duo Wind with the exception of the color. Most likely a variant of the Duo Wind B or G variant but in some cases the black dial watches had different names like Midnight Clipper or Midnighter. Looking for any ad that might mention the black variant.

The ad Jim found shows the right style hands. I'm wondering about the black dial. No other Duo Wind among the member watches has a black dial. That's cool for me if it's legit. The ad shows the Duo Wind had this style hands at least on some variants. I'd say the black dial is a bigger issue since there's no documentation about one and no other examples. But that's not my call. But a Duo Wind variant for sure.
The Duo-Winds also came in a square case, so the number of variants could be a few..It would not surprise me in the least to see one of them listed as a black dial.
Here is the 1953 Duo-Wind price list. Doesn't show dial color unfortunately.
That said as the dial has 'Selfwinding' and not 'Duo-Wind' which might indicate another model all together.

Not saying Duo Wind on the dial doesn't exclude it from being a Duo Wind as there are several other member watches that are that way. I agree it does open the possibility that it's a different model. However, the case is a match to the Duo Wind which, I believe, diminishes that possibility.
