Watch Description

This one is a mystery to me. Stainless case appears to be a "push through" from the front, I haven't tried. Dial has unusually shaped yellow indices and raised yellow gold dot minutes track. Watch appears nearly perfect and is on a replacement band installed by me.

Case appears to be the same as these two current unknowns  Here and .here

The only dial / hands match I find is the Royal Clipper. 1960 - 1963

This watch and the 2 referenced all have a different dial, and are all dated 1960 to 1962. I find it hard to believe this is a coincidence and these watches are all put-togethers. Is this an unidentified model or variant?

It's really attractive on the wrist, no matter what it is. and keeps perfect time as received......

Agreed, the dial is match for the Royal Clipper but the case is a match for the Sea Clipper.

I don't recall seeing any steel cases with yellow gold color dials; there were some white gold cases with yellow gold dials earlier.

Looks to me like a mix of different watch parts; nice look though.

I agree with unknown for now.
