I’ve never seen one that didn’t say “Switzerland” at the bottom and ‘49 was supposedly the last year for that across the Gruen line- so that’s what I always inferred- please someone correct me if I’m wrong.
BTW- I bought a lot of uncased movements/hands/dials for Pan-Am’s a while ago, about 1/2 dozen. Some are a mess but some usable parts. If anyone needs parts for these, let me know.

·Alrighty well, thanks to @No Mercy I’m the proud owner of this guy here. From ‘44 according “style number” and checking with the Gruen database online. So maybe actually bought by a serviceman at a px or bx store during the war...
it’s interesting I can see the wear on the blue hands which I suppose are painted like the red one but the second hand looks perfect. Maybe it was replaced. Either way I love it
Anyways, thanks for your guys’ info and pics.
