as far as I know the Autowind Leader was introduced late 1949 and was available until late 1955. Somewhen in between the hands and the subsecond were slightly modified, your model is of the face lifted style, so I would date it 1953 to 1955...

True, I know there were at least three of them. Here is another dial version.

and this one is I think the last variant they did. From a 1955 issue of Life Magazine.
