I haven't been able to find any information on this watch/movement. I apologize for the terrible photo quality, and will completely understand if they prevent anyone from taking a stab at identifying this watch.

Here is everything written on the watch:

Dial - Universal Geneve
Case Back Outside - Stainless Steel Swiss 1006723
Interior Case Back - Lavina Watch Co.
Hand written 11-22-68
Movement - Universal Geneve Watch
Swiss
17 Seventeen Jewels
unadjusted
uow
361

I don't know if it's at all visible, but the movement vaguely resembles the UG 267. However, I haven't been able to find any mention anywhere of a UG 361 movement.

Thanks to anyone who can give me a clue!

Looks like you have a marriage of the movement to the case, or at least to a case back.

Caliber 361 is in the best fits books, shows interchangeability with Angelus 56. Not sue what else you'd find on something like this...

Thanks for the information. I thought the movement and case were a mismatch.

Do you have any examples of the right case type for this movement? I can't find any information on any watch from UG that used a movement marked 361.

Here are a couple more ( barely, slightly) better pictures of the movement if that is helpful:
