I can't offer any info on the watch but I did find this on the name on the dial;
Business established in London by Henry Williamson in 1865. The firm was converted in 1892 into a limited liability company under the style H. Williamson Ltd. The firm went into liquidation in 1898 and was acquired by a new company of the same name. In the 1920s the firm had financial difficulties, culminating into a reorganization of their affairs in 1929 and went out of business in the 1930s.

In Wesolowski book military timepieces on page 26 is a watch made by willamson same marks but the second hand is at the three.Also seven jewels it's WW1 era and should have a Dennison case it also said most were like yours with the second hand at the six and you all ready know its British military.I guess the one in the book was made for a hunter but the war started and went to the military in a open face case thats why the second hand at the three for the one in the book.Nice watch.
