The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1940s.
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm excluding the winding stem and the loop. The back of the watch has been engraved and reads, 'BR North Eastern Region, F Ames, in appreciation of 45 Years Service'. The case is rolled gold (20 microns) and the condition is good with just a little lifting of the plate around the engraving.
The watch plastic lens has some marks but is acceptable.
The dial is enamel and to the naked eye, it appears in good condition. If viewed through a magnifying loupe, there are faint hairline cracks.
