Ww2 era, Seiko 9150.
It's missing the inner bezel and crystal, but there's a 50/50 chance its here somewhere (alot of the watches I thought were incomplete in all of this stuff I've found the missing parts so keeping my fingers crossed) needs a balance staff and some tlc.

Cool thanks Jeff. I had looked for the patent for a while but could not find it.

I started cleaning and checking the movement today. This one is only a 4 jewel watch the pallets and roller are steel, it is quite worn out and probably not really worth it but still repairable.
