How to open Westclox case...

[Triacon]

I found this watch in my parents basement.  Wound it and it runs, but want to open it and clean the movement.  Not seeing anything that hints at opening...

Any suggestions

 

Can it possibly open from the face?

Have you tried to open the back with a case knife? Have a look and see if there's a place where a blade can be inserted. Looking at the photos it looks like a place around the 4 or 5 o'clock.

i agree, but  be  careful with a sharp knife.  vinn

I agree with@oldhippy its a snap case back and could be opened by knife blade

There's no case back on these. You need a crystal lift glass remover, then the dial is on a little hinge.

Looks like a snap back case to me as well. The back looks slightly "rotated". If it were a one-piece case the engraving would be perfectly aligned I think.
