I found a very similar style (but I don't think identical) handset - but with a counterpoise on the seconds hand:

Given the variation of dial makers (and fonts used on their pads), and sheer number of dial variants, I’m going to suspend disbelief and seek out some research beyond the (same) Google searches we are all presumably doing. For example, here’s an example of a Movado catalog from the 40s with two examples that have pyramid shaped markers with lines extending to the outer track. I’ll start looking for material in older catalogs, as I think that’s a better path.
As another note: I don't think the ad you posted shows three-dimensional pyramid indices. Those two watches have "foil", flat indices - like the Movado you posted above.
Here's one that is just printed, no foil. We should probably start a Movado thread at this point...

My turn to update this thread, with this little Frenchie just out of revision. Quite happy with this one as I had to wait a bit before wearing it.
N.B. it unfortunately suffered a shock, the lume on the hour hand is half gone, and the original glass had to be changed... I am looking for an Omega glass suitable for this model (PX5000 I believe?), if anyone know where to find one at a decent price?
