First ever post and it's a cliche: Help me identify my father's watch? (Modem burner)

Ok long time lurker and horologeek here. I've never had much to contribute here, but always enjoyed reading what you all had to share.

So at last, I come to you all, wondering if you can perhaps help me identify the watch pictured here. I will preface this saying that I have spent a couple weeks researching the watch. There are no ref #s on the case, only the model number: 418212. This places the watch made 1947.

I have found a handful of similar watches, but none that are identical or definitively the same. Some have round buttons and 2 and 4, some read "telemetre" instead of "mileage," some were made over a decade earlier, etc/

My father remembers next to nothing about this watch. Though, as a stockbroker by trade, he of course remembers paying $400 for it sometime in the 70s or 80s.

There are no markings on the caseback asides from the crown and serial# pictured. I am sure there would be lots of fun stuff to discover if I opened it up, but I am not comfortable doing that. So, any help oh Sages of the Sub?

Thanks in advance fellas!
