A new to me cal 263. Contrary to my norm, I didn't do research and just got swept up by the lugs.

Me neither - but I assume it's correct / original to the watch, even if I didn't find any similar lume-style (also for other UGs) in Sala's book.

I should have taken a look in Salas book a bit more in depth than I did... Then I would have found sth. similar on page 255.
After reading I assume it's not lume but Sala calls it "small balls" / not "small balls made of ... gold" / "... tritium".

Those balls seem to look like the one on the posted watch - will post below for comparison.
Production time for both is within one year at around 1943+-

Still not sure what material it is.

Again for comparison:

and another one found here with "small balls" - here in same arrangement with 2 dots at 12 and 1 at indices like my watch

Just received this one. Always wanted one of these inverse pushers references and as a benefit this is a full set

Coincidence! I'm just wearing this one after service (bought nos, so frozen by gummed lubricant).

Yes 1990s. With a lemania 1873 inside.

To be honest, while they aren't as revered as the Compax's from the 40's to the 60's, I find them rather attractive and must say, they seem to be aging pretty well.
