I recently discovered this Croton pocket watch.

Unsure whether the material is silver, chrome, or polished steel. "Seven 7 Jewels" is marked on the mechanism. I'm not confident enough to remove the back to look more closely for details...

The face is marked "Croton". The front and back are see through and appear to plastic or acrylic. It's in working order, but there is some slight oxidation of metals.

Any information about the model/year/price of this watch would be appreciated.

The so called "clear" material obscures the mechanism in the pictures here. Hopefully will post better photos in the future.

Hi, it's an interesting watch due to the deisgn, but from a semi-obscure maker with a cheapish 7 jewel movement. I'd say it's from 1950s, I guess value at about $100.
