This is another dollar watch. A Westclox Pocket Ben Lighted Dial stem wind & set.
Movement is marked Model 90033
The battery needed to operate the light on the dial is a LR44 or SR44 battery. Push the button at the bottom of the case to turn the light on.
One of these days I will look for a battery.
Thanks for looking,
Dave
