Not so sure about that Art,

Maybe this is just optical distortion due to curvature of the glass-rim. The dial seems to be clean and straight, normal logo and brandname; moreover:  the 'scientific' graduation (one-fifth-second) is rather awkward and sensitive to mimic in a restoration procedure.

What is obviously missing in fact is the original luminous paint on the cipher-indices and the hour + minute hand. Long ago already probably aged into little brown flakes and powder dust. Or somebody was not happy with the remains of the lume and gave it a good scrub, effectively finishing up with a clean but 'naked' looking dial..

cheers,   Ben.

Because of the very prominent secondshand indicating from the centre, the (in our perception) little watch used to be popular among workers and nursers in the medical field when checking heart-beat, respiration, blood press. etc. There were numerous model...

Looks like a refinished dial to me, Bill . . .

. . . the outer seconds track between 12 and 3 is bereft of sub-seconds hash marks evident elsewhere, and there's an odd curve to the track right around 12 as well.

This is the section of the dial . . .

. . . a closer look reveals stubs of the sub-second markers all along the track. It's probably just an optical illusion . . .
