This is a vintage diver style waterproof watch made by the French company Cattin & Cie. under their "Mortima" brand name. Cattin & Cie was founded in 1858 in France, but moved to Switzerland, I believe sometimes during the 1970s or 80s. I'm unsure if this watch was made in France or in Switzerland, but probably has a Swiss movement in any case. The face reads "Mortima 17 Jewels Super Datomatic Waterproof 100%"
In addition, there is a slight bit of wear to the plating on the back of the watch, but this looks much more pronounced in the photos than it actually is - again, IT CAN'T BE SEEN WHEN YOU WEAR IT
