 From what I can tell by the dial,
it looks like it might have the Longines Caliber 22L watch movement.

This particular movement has 17 jewels manual wind with sub second
bimetallic screw balance, Breguet hairspring. Rated at 18,000 bp/h.

It was produced between 1945 - approx.1950.

Approximate current value of the watch:

Pristine Examples: $1,100 and above in US Dollars.

Gold version:  $675 and above in US Dollars
Silver version: $525 - $600 in US Dollars.

This is depend on the condition of the movement.

Note:
The solid 14kt gold version of this watch was owned by Malcolm X.
