Hey guys,

I have an interesting UG Compur that was supposedly gifted to a commander of the Hungarian air force. It has a cool story and I'd like to know if the watch is legitimate. The print looks a bit strange to me and slightly off, but I'm not sure.

Let me know what y'all think!

I saw it too on Chono24 ...
I would definitely ask for high resolution pictures before buy, or pass ! Looks strange ...

Whilst I understand there was a Fiat aviation division at some stage I'd love to hear the cool story that links it (or indeed the car-maker) to the Hungarian Air Force.

didn't go through all their models, but I'll bet they supplied hardware to the Hungarian Airforce, and this was a little appreciation to a well-disposed procurement officer

Is the dial original or redial? Picture is terrible.

There certainly was a fiat aviation arm ...

for the scooter lovers out there, i can also confirm that there was a Piaggio Aviation arm which makes the vespa a real aviation derived thoroughbred ...
