Hi -

Not art deco, but rather classic bauhaus design. Some of the best Stowas were made in this time period. Will have to think about the caliber, though: are there any markings under the balance wheel that could help us some more?

and Bestfit lists an Osco 200 movement that's 10.5''' (23.5mm)
(Bestfit says "see Osco" in the Stowa section)

I couldn't find a photo of an Osco 200 for comparison

Thanks for info!
Unfortunately,there are no other marks but that visible number "200".

Since it looks like you've got it apart, post a photo of the setting works. That might provide a positive ID

PS - what is the movement diameter?

[jedanzoom]

My watchmaker made those photos while serviceing the watch.I belive that you are asking for this photo:

Diameter is about 19.mm.

I got two of those,and both of them have the same number on the movement-200.,but different case numbers.

Hmmm .. at 19 mm it's not a 10.5''' Osco 200

Based on the setting works shapes and the 8.75''' diameter, it looks like it could be a Unitas 200 which would coincide with the 200 stamp

I can't find a photo of a Unitas 200 for comparison
