Welcome,

this looks like a Strap 417 in yellow Gold Filled, the back should be made of Gruens Guildite stainless steel. It should run on a caliber 406SS movement with 15 jewels and sweep second hand. Introduced 1940 it was also available in pink gold filled in 1941, it's sales name was VERI-THIN AIRMAN. It did cost $33.75 in 1940, in 1941 and 1942 the price was $37.50. The watch with its central second hand was mainly intended for doctors and other professionals. I have not seen them being sold after 1944.

I really like the styling of the dial. Looks awesome!
