Hi a line release tool (available on eBay or the cheap £30 alalyser). Will spin  up the watch and clear a jam or sticky oil. First put a drop ofnaptha ( lighter fuel) on the pivots then tun up the watch, re fit new battery if it runs you know the movement is ok but it will require servicing. If still dead check circuit for pulses and the coil resistance and for being open. Circuit.
