·Porcelain dial, and looks like a nice one. I wouldn’t be concerned about lack of case markings. Likely was military use. Hard to tell from depth of field, but is the surface look like sandpaper?
Can you share more photos of the movement holder?

·...so we have at least a range from 5,34 (found here):

to 7,63 mio. (found in Goldbergers book) - ca.1935-47/48. A pretty long period.

·I am sure many have read that the range between 3 million to prior to 5 million is suggested by AD and others to be previously created movements 1922 that were likely used for the c1936/37 batch.
One other note: Has anyone ever seen a confirmed 4 million number? I have not.

··MWR Tech Support DeptWith original watch band and box, grail level.
Below might be example of original for military too.
Very strange. As if Longines itself had signed the dedication.

··MWR Tech Support DeptThis person has collected about 40 of these watches. Here is the closest one I found. There are many dial variations.
Found one more similar subdial. This person's a horder, has so many of the same watch.
It would now seems fitting to include this very detailed piece of research (with credit and tribute to @DirtyDozen12)

·This particular example seems hardly military, the engraving at the back says « “in memory of july 6, 1938, “Longines””.
Very strange. As if Longines itself had signed the dedication.
The current "owner" actually more like retailer of it says it is the original band they came with. Not saying that this is necessarily only for military. Just that this is the original bands.

·No.
Seems production of new movements for 3582 began somewhere around 5 million.

··MWR Tech Support DeptI've already got an inquiry out there for my Czech. Syrte, would you like to have the honors?
You'll need this photo for them to help you.
In any event I’d need to know where they’re from if I query Longines. (And the owner may want to be credited).

·I wonder...Longines commemorate or response of the fight for Czechoslovakia's freedom?

·Looks all correct to me. All parts with matching numbers. Plastic high dome or low dome mineral glass? Can we see side view of case?
Plastic high dome 😀
