I can't see a number engraved in the caseback.
The mov't is a 12.68 Longines from the right time.
The dial is a poor redial.
No mil. watch, but a genuine Longines.

Thanks ... Thought it might be a redial purporting to be a military ... One I bought a few years back when my knowledge was less ... Live and learn

Yes ... the 1944 issue COSD Longines which had the 12.68N movement but few were actually issued .. mine has the movement but the case is wrong ...
There was one for sale here on MWR last year http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... n%26sa%3DN ..
I should have done a bit more research before making this post

Hi all, i was at a watch fair at the motorcycle museum last week near birmingham UK, where i got chating to a bloke wearing one of the robust COSD longines issued to the paratroopers. It had the same dial as the watch discussed on this thread. The dial is definately immatating this watches face. Of interest the guy was an ex soldier with connections to some stores quartermasters. they had found him 2 of the heavy duty COSD cases, with crowns (minus dials and movements).....what a find!!!!!....also he had 3 longines greenlanders for swopsies!!!!!
