    It's a calibre 23.7 dating to about 1930s (give or take a few years) by the movement number.
    The caliber was introduced in 1918 and went through a number of iterations up to about 1934.
    The English made case was produced by Dennison and given a 9 carat gold assay mark by the Birmingham Assay Office in 1927.

    Thanks for the info I notice there is no omega sign on the winder so I guess that’s been replaced I was wondering about the dial and hands are they original or have they been replaced.

    The crown would not have had an Ω at that time and by colour and shape, looks original to me.
    The hour hand has most likely been replaced as the Plume style minute hand has the correct proportions whereas the Poire style hour hand does not.
    The dial looks fine, it may just need a clean. You could get that done when you send it to be serviced ;).
