So I would say the box is narrowed down from 1918 to 1923. Somewhere over time they switched from the “wristlet” ribbon inside the lid to a printed wristlet text to printed wrist watch text (and brown version). Or a switch to another supplier (or maybe for another market f e canadian).

The watch inside and straps are not original to the box. Embarrassed It is one of my first watches and don’t think I ever tried to identify/date it. Maybe on the old forum. Shall add it to the identify or watch database. Smile
