The diagram on page 133 of the manual shows OSC24M / 750 feeding the watchdog.

Other manuals, such as the A10 one, mention:

Watchdog clock source is OSC24M. if the OSC24M is turned off, the watchdog
will not work.

So in fact it does use a clock signal. It's just that we've been lazy, since
the clock rate is fixed and is always on.
