Timor automatic vintage watch

I used to have a mid 1940s military style Timor. I let go of that as it became more of a novelty and I couldn't find the parts for its winding mechanism to be repaired. It didn't take long for someone to buy it as it was a collectible and the design was close to the much sought after Dirty Dozen watches of which Timor was one of the brands that produced those watches.

Dial showing even number hour markings and no day nor date features

Case back stating this watch to be waterproof, shockproof, and having a stainless steel back. There is also what looks like a symbol and a serial number.
This is a rather small watch at 32mm wide excluding the crown. The dial is also somewhat framed by the case making the watch appear even smaller and therefore unappealing to those who prefer larger watches on their wrists. It is an automatic and still reliable. I have not timed it to determine how long it will last after regular use. It survives overnight after a day's use so I guess that's a decent enough storage for an automatic.
