Description from the seller

Zenith aircraft watch, type 20 November 1939
The watch works.. it is wound by the crown

A wooden case serving as a base on which the watch fits is present. The wood is a little damaged

A minor sign of its historical age: the paint is a little chipped around the dial as well as near the base of the hands. cf the photos.

No visible trace of corrosion.

My grandfather held the rank of commander in the French army during World War II, and I found this aircraft cockpit clock among his effects..

This historic object is precious; I entrust it to your care for a collector.
