Watch Description

The watch appears to be rose gold in color, the movement seems to be either 1932 or 1942.  The case number doesn't bring up anything for me.  The movement has 17 jewels.  I was just gifted this watch (among many others) from my deceased father's cousin. She has owned this watch her whole life, but cannot remember where it originated.  Inside the watch case, there are a couple of markings that likely indicate service timing (one has a date of 1963)  The band is an metal expansion band in the same rose gold color (I assume it is original to the watch)

Thank you for posting your heirloom watch.  This is one of my favorites.   It is a 1942 Senator.  We believe it might be the variant F but have not found documentation yet.

Great item to have passed down and looks like it's still ticking away.
