Fifth- I just looked up some of that stuff too. LOL  I agree on the lugs being different.  I did a cursory check through the ads and didn't see a match.
UNKNOWN - hopefully to be ID'ed if/when we find an ad.

I am changing my vote to unknown based on the info presented. I too  hope we can find an id for it later.

Yes, Mark has made a very good observation that I missed entirely. Has to be Unknown for awhile.

Nice looking watch but alas, an unknown model.

A 1942 Brewster ad has vertical bezel engraving, but not the lugs...

Emporer ad lacks engraving, but it's the closest ad yet!

'EMPORER' is a match all the way around - except the engraving.

Probably a trick crystal, OT! My bathroom mirror does the same to my waistline. :^(
