What you have the is a Incastar Regulator system. I have attached images which explain and show how the regulator works.

It actually says Incastar on the dial . Thanks for sharing . It's for sale on ebay but i would like to build it up if i had a nice case for it . Probably has been a gold case for it as i bought as a movement . Somebody has melted down the gold for the money . To bad .

One of the interesting aspects of watch repair is the discovering of variations. Not just case variations dial variations the hands but movement components. The watch companies seem to have an endless supply of ideas of how to do things giving us an incredible quantity of things to torture us with. Although I'm not sure they were actually specifically designed to torture the watchmaker they can end up doing that.

So the links below have additional information lots of pictures lots of variations of using this regulation system. The third link if you scroll down far enough has a picture of the inside of the case back which has the setting instructions.
