Here are pictures of the movement. Unfortunately it does not have any markings, the only ones are on the case back.
Are the photos enough for us to determine the date of manufacture ?

Thank you in advance for providing more input regarding the movement. It is interesting to take a look under the hood.
My doubts based on using marketing feature Incasecurit. It refers to anti shock device, used in movement. And usually Incasecurit featured Zodiac wrist watches dated late 1940s or early 1950s. But Incabloc was patented in 1934 if memory serves me right.
Intriguing to see what kind of anti shock device used here.

This was the year stated in the ad of the seller from whom I bought it. I will try to open it and add a picture. A pocket Chronometre (movement only) appeared on a Swiss sales portal. I plan to purchase it and make it into a wristwatch. Unfortunately, it will be huge, as the movement itself is 36mm and the crown at 12 o'clock

Do you have a picture of the movement?
I doubt it is from 1930s
Nice piece though

Good afternoon.

Here is my oldest Zodiac pocket watch from 1930 in rose gold. Pretty good condition for a 90+ year old watch. By the way, I wanted to check if the attachments work. Cheers !!!

Im shocked, not even the box is real!  :D

Thanks again Yuri. Now that you've mentioned the reference number is 702-916 it makes sense with other watches i find on the web having the same dial and bezel.

I'll also take up Butch's suggestion and put it on Ebay. I will share the link here once i do. Anyone on the forum reading this who wants to buy it for the parts is welcome to contact me for a family and friends price.

I enjoyed learning a bit more about these Sea Wolfs and I'm sure i'll encounter a few more along the way. I'll continue to follow this forum and keep in touch!

Cheers,
Pieter

Just to help understand correct configuration of this Sea Wolf model.
Sea Wolf Datographic stands for a Sea Wolf with calendar complication.
Your Sea Wolf does not have calendar. So Datographic box, 722 916 ref number and 72B engraving are not applicable for it. Obviously the watch was assembled from available parts and can not be considered as a collectible piece.
Although it still has very nice dial and bezel. Which is a key factor in condition of these watches for 916 ref number. It is pretty rare to see them in such pristine state. So it is possible to convert this particular Werewolf into correct No date 702 916 Sea Wolf. In this case it can fetch $1500+ for an interested buyer to wear and enjoy it. I'd estimate investment in parts and labor about $500+.
