Hi all

Does anyone know what this is? Was my dad's and not been worn for years. Works and keep good time. Just curious. I've looked online but can't see anything

Anything on the back? Looks fairly generic.

No, just says stainless steel and automatic. Does anyone know who's logo it is?

The logo looks like the 1925 Peugeot logo

Promotional watch they had made I'm guessing?

Peugeot havd dabbled in pretty much manufacturing anything and everything manufactured in metal. Everything from corsets to pepper grinders to motor vehicles.
Watches would not be a far stretch to move into https://boutique.peugeot.com/clothing/watches.html

Deffo a pre-war Peugeot logo.

But that is never a pre-war watch, surely?

It looks more late 60s to 70s, why would they put an old logo on?

Peugeot trademarked the lion in 1858. Maybe the watch was a centenery celebration piece? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot
