Just to clarify, I am in fact very interested in this story and look forward to the meaning behind this watch and its engraving being further unraveled. I won’t pretend I put anywhere near the effort that @Dr.Sascha has into this research and my skepticism is not meant to denigrate his efforts.

I hadn't even remembered that Peter Duncan was in Space 1999 ( a bit of a cult TV programme here in the UK)
He must have been quite young when he appeared and famously went on to present in the children's classic BBC programme 'Blue Peter'.
There is a bit of an easy fix to this question - as he is still active, why not ask the man himself?
Seems he has a panto company:

edit:
of course there is the risk that he might want his watch back......
Yup, I've reached out to him already, and just awaiting a reply . . .

You know, to see this unique piece reunited with its original (or intended) owner . . . well, I wouldn't let it go for free, but I would drop the service fee.

It's a viable hypothesis, but pretty speculative based on those cryptic engravings, which could mean many different things. Let us know if you get some support for it.

Yup, working on it. Like any other puzzle, you have some (but not all) of the pieces and you do your best to assemble the picture. It's a workable hypothesis, with some good supporting evidence. When the spaceship lands in my back garden, then I'll know I have it right!

So I take it that you've heard nothing back from Peter Duncan?

This is brilliant. Whilst I hope you’re right Dr.Sascha the naughty part of me hopes you’re miles off!!
