·You need to be careful when you use the term “military” around here, we have serious military collectors. Longines/Wittenaur did have a history of making military watches, but if there isn’t clear documentation of this reference being used by a military somewhere on the planet, then It’s just a nice 24/hr dialed vintage watch. If you can show military provenance, please share as we all love to learn.

·Hi, I was told by the owner it was 1940s-50s military watch. I guess that may mean just military inspired? I am not sure on this. Someone please school me. Were these Wittnauer's issued to service members in the US?

I recall them producing a line of compasses in the 40s but not sure about military issued watches. Either way it’s a nice piece

·Like many watch manufacturers, Wittnauer produced numerous models for the civilian market over the years having "military inspired" dials....a couple of cases in point....
