The following image is from 1936 and you can see the "Extra" on the movement. I don't know if your watch is the same size or whether Phenix used a similar layout in other sizes.
Cylindre escapement in 1936? A little bit behind the times, that company - most gave them up around the end of WWI (and several makers even around the turn of the century).
I agree with Hartmut that, 'that 1936 is late for a cylinder escapement'.
Cellar states that the image is from 1936...not the movement, perhaps
it is from a 1936 catalogue. Watchmakers catalogues would identify earlier
movements, even when obsolete.
Would I be correct in beleiving this is borrowing from Patek Philippe's "Extra" movements which signified more detailed work from the factory's regleur?
