The serial number says 1955 😕
Maybe the movement has been replaced?

Based on the Pocket Watch Database website, it looks to be from circa 1903... I hope I read the serial number correctly (14774238)

Indeed, the movement appears to be more modern than stated. I don't think that pocketwatchdatabase info is correct. Is there a number in the case? Higher resolution photos would be helpful.

Movement is a 38.5 by the look of it. Introduced in 1932 at the earliest and used up until 1966.

I would date the watch to some time around 1955 and if we can get a case serial number it may be possible to identify it further.

Some serious problems with that database (at least for Omega).
I wouldn't put any trust in their information.
