It convinces me it is for bracelet watches (with foldable clasp?). Mostly mens watches. Smile . But also maybe cord (with safety catch), mesh, flex ladies watches... So watch bands without open ends.
I've always assumed that men's watches with bracelets shared smaller boxes with ladies models. Cool to see an ad that at least somewhat supports that notion, although this being different (and larger) than most short boxes may indicate that this particular box was for men's bracelet watches, not the smaller usual ladies boxes.
