Zenith Military bought civilian pilot watch

[River Rat1]

Got this from a seller in Czechoslovakia. He has a web site that has a lot of cool vintage pilot watches for sale most out of my price range. This one had a little damage on the dial so the price was lower that I could afford. Had to use a translator function to do the deal was a tough one don't know if I would do another from him. This was made in 1931 this style Pilot Watch was big in Europe in the 1930's brands Zenith, Omega, Helvetia and others. Military pilots would buy their own watches. Due to restrictions on military equipment German military pilots would also buy them to. The big crown made it easy to wind with pilot gloves on also a rotating bezel ring with pointer for navigation. The dial is porcelain.
