Hi -I thing that you are right, that the watch may have been awarded to a upper level member of the SAS management as a sort of....medal for long an loyal service. No , the picture not the watch is mine. I took part in the auction 19th April 2011. The winning bid was 14.000SEK. Below some more details about the watch:
UNIVERSAL, Polar Outer De Luxe, automatic men's watches, 1954-55, marked in the works / dial / case, white works caliber 138 SS, bumper automatic, 17 jewels, gold colored dial with SAS logo, gilt numbers ring with dash, center seconds hand, case and bracelet with gold 18k, 36 mm diameter, total weight 78 g, the SAS original case; works, bracelet not original
I personally thought the watch rather gawdy , wish is why I didn´t buy it.
At the same auction there was another very fine universal watch that I regret that I didn´t bid on thought. Details below and picture enclosed:
