Dreamer -
Not exactly my area, but....
The photo below is of a watch worn by 2/Lt. Philip Kissam, 213th Aero Squadron. Trained at Foggia and later Tours and Issodun. It's a standard civilian Longines (still runs...), but he has made an aluminum backing which prevents the stem from accidentally popping out and changing the time. Kissam told me he wore this watch at Foggia, Issoun and the 213th.
You can see it's rotated now to free the stem. The little tabs around the rim hold it to the watch and the one at the 2:30 o'clock position covers the stem.
Not exactly issue equipment, but effective.
Keep at it,
Mike
