You need to look for more clues, and give them so that you get the correct answers.

Are there any hallmarks on the back or interior sides of the case?

Are there any markings or words on the dial face?

These two items will help identify the manufacturer and the date of manufacturing, both a reputable jeweller would have knowledge of and where to confirm the answers. You can also go to the nearest urban library and find hallmark reference books. If you can't make it to a city, ask your local library if they have the inter-library lending program, and get them to borrow the books from their lending partners.

I like the concept of the triple eights with the descriptions of purpose. It sounds like the words - the words - came out of the Rennaisance. Some recent manufacturer could be re-issuing modern pieces with the older sentiments. Hallmarks will confirm actual date and manufacturer.

It obviously sounds like a watch that had something to do with the union movement. Check to see if there is anything similar to it for sale on e-bay. That might be a good place to start. Someone really needs to look at the watch. Take it to an antique dealer or even a watchmaker and they should be able to give you an idea. It is difficult for anyone to make even a guess without seeing it. Best of luck with it.
