I know Tradition watches were sold through Sears, but I've not seen that one previously. It has a strong "Railmaster" vibe to me.
I'm pretty sure that watch is from the Sears one - the script for "Tradition" is the same as their other watches, but it could be coincidental, as the other more famous Tradition diver with the bakelite bezel has "sears Roebuck" inside the case and on the movement. I wonder if it has the original movement or a replacement though? A few other of the Tradtition 500 watches I found have AS1430 movements marked with "tradition watch co" vs the Savoy that is in this one. Regardless it looks really nice.

Nice stainless Paul Portinoux- the dial is great, case shape is clean and bold- about as elegant and timeless as they come. Seller says not working so could be anything. Looks to be an AS movement so parts are usually abundant and easy to work on for any watchmaker. Seller sent me an unsolicited offer for $28, I think they would take lower.

That would make a great home-office desk clock!
Does it have lume, so you could use it bedside at night?

Plus if you have never slept with a mechanical clock at bedside, you may be in for a rude awakening- literally- it will keep you up all night.
