unscrew the basil, that's the ring holding the glass, should be a slot at the 2 o'clock posistion, a little tab will be sticking out a touch, gently pull the tab outward and turn the crown to set the time. Know as a lever set watch
The Illinois Identification & Price Guide book list the dial as a No. 5284 -276-D, 18 size double sunk dial.
We need to see the movement & serial number to give you more information.
