I don't know but it looks like it would help to have a big hole in your left wrist while wearing this piece;)

I do! I found that a 9mm hard ball shot diagonally thru the wrist fits the stem perfectly lol.
 
A combination watch/air pressure gauge? :grin
 
I guess I'm going to win stump the panel. Someone must have seen one like this before. It keeps awesome time. It's a mechanical movement. Very sturdy case and fixed bezel. Come on put your thinking caps on. You folks are some of the sharpest watch folks around.

It is built like a brick outhouse fur sur. Keeps awesome time, mechanical movement. Guess I will have to confirm what I believe to be a Swiss movement.
 
It's a Boy Scout's canteen from the '30s that's been converted into watch.
 
It's a Zeno-Watch-Basel Euro Army Diver

I'm thinking this is a custom job. Probably some sourced parts and built by a small company or hobbist. Looks cool though. Blueradish will like this one I bet
 
I love it!!! Awesome looking, but $1100???? Ouch!
 
Wild guess is Molnija but that would be dependent on this one being properly identified.

Based on http://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?69034-Russian-diver

You might have some fun going down this wikihole:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molnija

Good luck.

Probably wouldn't hurt if you could read Russian.

It is likely not a Zlatoust as I believe none of those ever had a second hand.



Edited to add: Nope - looks like Royster got it while I was typing. The one above may well be a Zeno mis-identified as a Moinija.
