I find it interesting that this is a caliber 330 watch that was manufactured, according to the Wadsworth case date, in 1942.

The upper limit of 330 style numbers is 475, 476. these two style numbers indicate a date of 1941. in theory that means a handful of caliber 330 watches were still being designed and released into the 1940s. They likely began being designed in the 30s with their style number being assigned later in the development process.

Also noteworthy in the style number topic is that the number 330 417 was reused on a couple of other Curvex models.

You have a beautiful watch and a case that has very very little wear and even has a signed crown that's in great condition. Congratulations on a great find and a fantastic restoration.
