Which watch is a young Paul McCartney wearing?

[lawler]

Watching a Beatles documentary and the below pictures were shown of Paul McCartney wearing what looks like a Junghans Max Bill style watch.

Does anyone know the exact model/reference?

This piece suggests that it was an Accurist:

"All four Beatles appear to have worn 9ct gold Accurist dress watches from the early 1960s. These were British manufactured mechanical watches with Swiss 21-jewel hand winding movements."

However, the author doesn't justify this claim. There are though some other photos of McCartney wearing what appears to be the same watch, and Lennon wearing a very similar piece from around the same time.

The same claim is made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrHtalQHHBw

Accurist claim that The Beatles wore their watches here: https://www.accurist.com/about-us

"Accurist watches were catapulted into pop-culture, being seen on the wrists of British icons such as The Beatles and Twiggy"

Monogroover - Thanks for those links and interesting post, OP.

I had watched A Hard Days Night last week with my kids, and noticed Ringo wearing what looked like a gold dress watch on a bracelet. I assume from the above this was an Accurist. There is a photo of him wearing the watch (I think it's the same) here:

But I can't see the make...

Very interesting. Thanx for that.

If you look in the thread "Part V: The Apple Watch", the Apple watch itself was made by the Old England brand of Richard Loftus who is also the owner of Accurist. There is some insider trading going on there.
