Looks like its in a case to me, can you read the model number, between the lugs at 12 o'clock

HI,the movement is in a replica case,no numbers behind lugs.

If it says 1560 on it, then it is a 1560 movement.

These were used in the 60's to power Explorers and Submariners etc.. If there is no water damage, then any decent watchmaker would be able to bring it to life...
