    I'm far from an expert, but I've never seen this before and seems unusual for an issued chrono. Are there issue markings on the case back?

    I own the WWII version of the A11 and love it, but I wasn't aware there was a version of this watch made into the 70's! The case shape is great and looks like stainless as opposed to the earlier chromed versions. Is this still 31mm or is it larger? Swiss movement? Need details!!
