My best guess is it's a WW2 bomb timer based upon the serial number being correct for that timeframe and the fact it has provisions for mounting on the wrist. You can see some examples here: http://www.br-avo.com/forum/photography-13/vintage-bomb-timers-3948/ |

Thank you very much. And the mechanisme "rattrapante" is compatible with military use? |
