Zenith Calatrava Bullseye Art Deco - WWII German Military Period 1940's N.O.S

We are looking at a specimen steeped in history.
A model from the Zenith manufacture, from its French branch, dating from the early 1940s, for what appears to be a special order for a high-ranking executive of the time.
The information cited should be taken with a grain of salt, but it corresponds to a history that seems to allow us to establish this type of information.

The references of the time, leaving the branch, were intended for the armed forces, issued as standard, symbolized by the mention "D.H". This one is devoid of it, making it a specimen intended for the civilian market.

The point to take into consideration is that this type of specimen could not be within everyone's reach.
The specimens in circulation, issued as standard, are dated by Zenith to 1940 or 1941.

This specimen would therefore have been a specific order placed by a high-ranking executive of the time, which could never have been distributed.

This makes it an extremely rare, if not unique, model. No other specimens are currently in circulation.
The specimens in circulation issued as standard D.H have radium hands, which our model does not have.

This specimen dates from approximately the early 1940s, right in the middle of the Second World War.
