It appears to be a Waterbury unjewelled dollar watch.

It's an Ingersoll mfg about 1911. There are no jewels in it.

See the "Complete Price Guide to Watches" by Cooksey Shugart, et. al.

Look in the section on Ingersoll. You will see one made in Great Britian that looks very much like yours. There are some slight differences, but strong similarities.

This watch was clearly given away as some advertisement promotion by the Graff Bros.

I looked up the patent written on the movement. It was assigned to Waterbury Clock Co. I am not really into dollar watches, but I think that the Ingersoll brothers originally purchased from Waterbury Clock Co. and eventually became the company.
