A little surprise, black enamel dial. How often do we see this? 🥰

The archives don't mention the case was locally licensed. Is that the original case?

It looks like it is not the case the watch was built for. The pin for the pin set is longer than the guards so the original case was bigger in diameter. You can see from the oxidation on the pin, it was recased recently.

Hi Seji, case looks like it's definitely swapped at some point but I was more inclined that it came with smaller case because there is huge gap between case and minute track.

It is a reference 2554, cal 340, ca 1962. This one is an American market watch.

Many of these are seen with dials marked GRAND PRIZE. I have yet to find another with this exact dial.

Beautiful one indeed... I recently saw and held one of the Grand Prize version. It was intriguing in a sense, as 19mm lug width seemed to visually shrink the dial/case. I don't know, at least to my eyes
