This is a fly, not a bee. A bee has four wings, not two and there are a number of other differences. The fact that its a fly makes it even more unusual, IMO.

Alnitak it's clearly a fly you are right. I'll make a little search now...

So I found this fly brooche that is an exact match to the design on your watch-fob, but this is the best I could do to now...



Found it here http://de.dawanda.com/product/14307657-Die-Fliege-Steampunk-Brosche-Messing-mit-Patina
It's described as a "brass brooche, "steamphnk style"(?) with a nice patina", no details on age, whether it's antique, modern or a modern repro, no backside pics, no details on markings etc.
But you could do a little inquiry with the seller, ask a question (I could translate if you want).

My last search for the symbolism of a fly is either as a symbol of evil (associated with the ancient god Beelzebub, later demonised in Christian religion and called "Lord of flies", the literal meaning of it's name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub) or as an ancient egyptian symbol for "persistance in attacking the enemy" (http://www.erayo.com/MULTILANA-NEW-...klaces/Egyptian-FLY-Amulet-pendant-p19560.htm).

I think I'm not getting closer so I'll wait for someone else with a better solution.

Nice find, That fly reminds of the species of blood-sucking fly "Tabaniidea Family" March fly or Horse fly
