We had a very similiar movement discussed here:

Your union special has just a different finish + the 'union special' label done in the same style.

I have seen a later watch marked 'union special' on the dial and 'Rotary' at the movement. Maybe 'union special' was just a trade mark.

Regards,
Gerald
