My grandmother gave this to me from her safety deposit box. It was not hers so she doesnt know anything about it. It says "Mathey Tissot" on the front and under that it says "automatique" then on the bottom half of the watch it says "UMF" and below that "matissonic." On the back it has the logo of mathey and tissot and says "certified tested150 ft Switzerland 1957."

At first I didnt notice it moving but after I was playing with it I realized it was, so perhaps it is kinetic? but it works, it has the date. you set it by unscrewing the big knob on the side and then twisting it...sorry the picture is so poor.

Looks like a ladies steel Mathey-Tissot automatic (i.e. powered by the motion of your hands), not much demand for this sort of thing, value will be low, $100 maximum ...
