I wear my dad's watch that he was given for 25 years service by him employer. It has the date, and his name and the company initials on the reverse. It may be one of the last gold watches given to anyone for 25 years service anywhere as he was given it in 1985, but the place he worked was pretty old fashioned in a number of ways.
It's one of those "dual winder automatics", but I wear it all the time anyhow. On months with less than 31 days you have to manually move the date on and sometimes I forget ... Timewise it runs a little fast, but that's OK with me.
