For sale is Heuer Stopwatch with military provenance. I don't know exactly which type but the 1945 catalogue contains picture of the back of what is called the 900-929 which is very similar. Serial on the case is 265xxx and on the movement 262xxx which is in line with others I've seen. The back is more interesting because it has an inscription: KNIL 227. The abbreviation KNIL is the Netherlands (where I live and acquired the stopwatch as well) used for Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger or Royal Dutch Indonesian Army. This army was discontinued in 1950 when the Netherlands lost control of Indonesia and became an independent country. In the caseback are 2 inscriptions: TD2146 whereby the D might also be a P and the 1 might be a slash. If TD it might mean something like Technische Dienst (Technical Service). The other inscription looks like 2271/81. Handwriting looks slightly different but not easy to say for sure.
The stopwatch is in need of TLC (and is not running). It needs a crown and possible more parts. Whether it runs with a crown: I don't know so count on a service as well. The movement looks very clean though.
Asking: GBP 100 ONRO.
I live in the Netherlands and have dozens of references. I'll ship (about) everywhere. Return: if not as described.
