Exquisit vintage watch

My collection of German-made watches includes this piece from the 1950s. It is literally Exquisit and features a unique set of lugs.

This watch has a simple dial with no day or date complications. What is apparently outstanding are the lugs.

Here's a stock photo of the movement, which is a PUW570 running at 18,000 beats per hour with a potential of 40hours. The movement dates the watch to the 1950s with the previous owner claiming this to be made around 1957.

This one's another reliable watch for everyday use. Unfortunately, being part of a collection means it is used only once in a while and not part of my regular rotation. Still, this one's a keeper for now if only because of the lugs.
