Both great vintage Marcel! The Zenith is classic Art Deco Hamilton Khaki Mechanical H69419363 (ETA 2804-2) on a Maratac Mil-Spec. Zulu Made circa 2015 prior to the 80 Hr. mid-beat 21.6kbph H50 without date complication (ETA 2801-2 base). This one has the same general style as the 1970's-1980's era US military, but isn't completely faithful to it, with an OD green dial, different style chapter ring markings, date complication and drilled lugs. The current H50 model jettisons the date complication and recreates the original black dial much more faithfully. This is also 40mm diameter with a 20mm lug width, whereas the original US military was 34mm diameter with 16mm lug width, had non-removable strap bars and came with a 16mm Zulu style OD green woven nylon strap. This would be among the three I'd use now.    |

Truth be told, I have 2 more of these Barton Soper Elite straps ibound; one in smoke grey and one in khaki. I love these straps but I definitely need to cool my jets on 'em though |
