This looks similar in style, and the caseback read what you have.

Dont know the exact model of that Ball watch.
The movement is a A.Shild movement . A nice little movement from the 1950's called a AS 1187.
They had at least 5 variances on that same movement , mainly the shape of the bridges over the gear train, as you can see in the picture i will leave you of the AS1187. But overall its the same movement, same stats. Reliable as all get out.
Hope it helps some.
