I inherited a working wristwatch . It has long date hand and a second hand that has its own dial and is smaller than the hour hand . It has a day if week and month function . Near the main dial there are two buttons one to change the month and one moves the date hand . It is very quiet watch . I would like to know when it was built and the model etc . It keeps accurate time and must be wound up it is not automatic . Thanks for any help !

It;'s referred to as a "triple date", they were made from 1943 to 1949.

It can't be cleaned, it would need to be refinished. It seems far gone, so a refinish would not be value detrimental.
