This watch was given to me by my Gran and apparently was my great-grandmother’s before that. It doesn’t have a serial number on the back but has something stamped into the side that could once have been a serial number around four digits but is now too worn to make out. Both sides of the strap are stamped with a number that could be “9 375“ or something similar, and may match the one on the side as they appear to be of similar lengths. It’s hand-wound and the clasp is labelled ”JAM”. I don’t have the box. Thanks in advance!
Try getting a close of up the dial and using Google's search lens. Hard to read it, didn't find anything too similar to it. Good luck! Probably not worth much more than sentimental value and a good story.

As others have said this is a 9 carat gold Helvetia watch. It dates from the 1950s I would say from the style. I've attached an advert from the 1950s with a somewhat similar style.
If you want to know about the history of Helvetia watches have a look at my site:

Thank you so much! Your website is very interesting; the most comprehensive and useful source I’ve found by a very long way. 1950s matches well with what I know of the watch already.
Thank you again for your help!
