Haven't seen that before, neat one.

My first thought was also no visible crown, and green 12 numeral.
It looks like a Fitch patent, he made silver cases that first of all were supposed to be dust proof, perhaps even water proof/resistant.
I had a feeling that the crown was under the bezel, I have seen that in a pocket watch.
It is a really neat watch.

I just liked the look, and it wasn't very expensive. Google searching now, it looks like these are "hermetic watches" that were an early attempt to make watches waterproof:

The movement is one of those listed at the url.

interesting piece, seen that the crown was missing but wouldn’t imagine that it is hide inside the case
