This is a 1954 "Space Explorer" watch, These are a single jeweled "Swiss Made" watch. There is another style of these with a Compass over layed on the dial. I will post shortly. I've said before, "the 1950's introduced several theme watches" and this is one of those. Thanks for looking and hope you will enjoyed seeing this one.
