I think your watch could possibly be a black face version of ref 418/419 which appears on this page of the 1946 catalog. Your dial may well have been "refreshed" at some point in its life. It is difficult to tell from the photo. If you could get the back off and post photos of the inside of the back and of the movement we might be able to tell you more.
