Jerin,
Thank You.
Note the characteristics of this Watch. 21 Jewel 7AA, Gold filled Case, Gold Caseback and a Dial showing no Minutes register, an open Seconds register and numeral placement all indictive of an 'ACADEMY AWARD'
Now note the display box, particularly the outer lid. - Curtained as on the 'ACADEMY AWARD' series display boxes.
IMO, these Watches were originally designed to be 'AA's, but with the advent of the lawsuit settlement in 1952 could not be advertised as such.
Nice piece.
