Thank you! This certainly looks like the right kind of thing and I know the image isn't much to go on.
If it helps at all, Dad was a great believer in Army/Navy surplus kit and often bought yachting supplies from the gigantic ramshackle stores that flogged off old military equipment from the immediate post-WW2 period. I have no specific reason to believe that this watch may have come from such a store, but it would fit with his character!
