It's a Hamilton model 21 marine chronometer. Seems to have seen naval service at some point then was transferred to the Army? The Army used these in bomber aircraft. | ||

Hamilton was the major producer of GMT (Greenwich mean time)timepieces. These were used by navigators and bombardier navigators during WW II to calculate longitude. It was issed in a metal case with a plexi window and rhe watch itself was supported by springs to absorb shock during flight. | ||
