Dorlin Pocket watch information help

[edteach]

I won this at a local auction house for 40 bucks. It runs and the movement looks great. But I can not find much out about this watch. Any help appreciated.

Hello!

This is an interesting one. Information from the horological trademark index at www.mikrolisk.de and there was only one match for it.

The Dorlin trademark was registered on 4/6/1954 Gulf Wholesale Jewelers of Oklahoma City

Here is another trademark list

The watch movement was manufactured by Unitas in Tremelan, Switzerland. You will find a little "UT" symbol under the balance wheel stamped on the plate. There will also be a number there that will tell you the exact calibre of the movement.
