Zenith HS3 Military Pocket Watch with Decimal Dial

Zenith HS3 British Military Pocket Watch with Decimal Dial.

These watches were used in world war two as standard military watches, however, after the war during the 1950's they had their original enamel dials replaced with these colourful decimal dials and shorter hands fitted and were used by the British Hydrographic Department at Hertsmonceaux Castle in Sussex for time and motion studies.

The dial layout gives emphasis to minutes, which are displayed in red on the intermediate chapter ring and an outer ring has been calibrated to indicate 100 unites per minute. The case measures 51mm by 16.8mm thick.

There is a small imperfection on the dial just below the number 7.

The movement is made by Zenith and is a lovely movement. It has been fully serviced and comes with a two year warranty.

This watch comes in its original wooden box which measures 90mm wide x 125mm long (excluding the hinge and latch) x 38mm thick.
