I was fortunate enough to find one of these pieces the other day. Since all of you were showing off your new Pilot Type 20s. I figured I would show mine.
Montre d'aeronef Zenith Type 20. Used in the late 1938 and into the 40s in many planes "including the Caudron Simon C.635 used by the French Air Force..."
