1950s, PUW movement. For more info please open it up and let‘s see the movement. Could be a 1361, 1461, 1561. my gutt says PUW 1561 because of the look of the dial.
PUW stands for Pforzheimer Uhrenwerke (Pforzheim Watch Movements or Pforzheim Ebauches).
PUW movements have been very popular in from the 60ties to the 70ties and I think they are worth to be colected (just as a witness of time). The 1561 already was a well constructed movement, reliable work horse.

1561 was my guess and it seems to be a 1561 which now dates your watch to be made in the 1970s. The PUW 1561 was launched in 1971 and replaced by the 1661 in 1975.

The PUW 1561 was available with 17/21/25 jewels. Open it up and look what‘s engraved under the balance wheel. Thst the only way to confirm.

The more I look at it the less I like it.
From another post: The Prodiver Vintage 95 Limited may appeal to some guys but it does not appeal to me. It‘s a mix-up of Esslinger dyna dots (never appealed to me), radium lume (nothing new but here too fat) and a borrowing from former Prodiver models. „Vintage“ most likely refers to the use of old radium lume which should underline the „vintage flair“ or „vintage character“. But the Prodiver never ever featured a „vintage flair“. The predecessor was a modern interpretation of the 1960s Seatime which Stowa developed together with a couple of forum members (2003/2004).
Longtime Stowaristi will remember that the Stowa Seatime became the „Seatime Prodiver“ after Greg Bottle gave some recommendations to make the Seatime a Prodiver, a modern diver.
Quote 2005: „Here at Stowa we not only create beautiful timepieces that are worn and treasured by our customers, we also provide them with a watch that is practical, durable and designed to do the job it was intended for.
With this in mind and the success of our robust seatime sports watch series, we decided we wanted to go one step further and produce the ultimate dive watch, a professional dive watch for divers. To make sure we got this watch just right we went to a designer who is not only a watch enthusiast, but who is also a very experienced diver with many years of experience.
The challenge was not only to create a watch that performed under extreme conditions and fulfilled divers needs, but also to create a beautiful watch that could be worn everyday and would be treasured by it’s owner.“
Now, to celebrate the 95th anniversary and out of a sudden, there is a Prodiver Vintage. What the h….?
Happy to own the white one:
