There is tradition of making such movements.  This is a trick for selling them easier.

As Nev sais.

In fact it has a function: cheat the buyer. 
He shall assume a higher quality type of keyless works and of the whole watch.

The keyless works design pretty much sucks on this watch...at least from servicing point of view.

A lot of New York Standard's watches were like a step up from "dollar watches" mostly only in appearance. Same with Seth Thomas pocket watches, many of them have fake "jewels" on the plate which were just red glass beads set into brass settings.
