Hello, if it is supposed to be a WWII piece, I would say no, it is not genuine (just on gut feeling), if it is supposed to be a 1950s or 1960s commerative watch of a WWII event, then yeah it is OK.

Hi there, nice piece. I'm not sure what VIS stands for, probably just the brand name. One of many Swiss brands that have disappeared.
