Eaglemoss Military Watches Collection.

In the period leading up to the Allied invasion of Europe it was realised that timing the phases of the invasion would be vital, the reliable and effective Army Trade Pattern watch was up to the task.
They were not issued to all troops but people who's role required accurate time information, such as readio operators, Forward Air controlers and Artillery batteries.
ATP watches were sourced from a large number of suppliers: Buren, Cortebert, Cyma, Ebel, Enicar, Fontainemelon, Grana, Lemania, Leonidas, Moeris, Reconvilier, Record, Revue, Rotary, Timor, Unitas and Vertex.
These watches can still be found today in various states of repair from New Old Stock finds, to barely recognisable worn items.

The text Hints that this is based on the Unitas version of the ATP watch, lacking the sub dial as is now usual.

Watches of this period were definitely designed for functionality first, and watches from different countries look very similar
