Twisted?

Here are a couple of pictures of my Abercrombie & Fitch chronograph circa 1930's. The strange thing about this watch is the off centered, twisted, look it has to it. I can't believe that this was a manufacturing error but does anyone have a guess why it's this way? Look closely at the one piece dial. The 12 & 6 appear to be off centered in relation to the case and lugs. When you look at the push buttons on the side of the case they are also off centered in relation to the crown but the crown is where it's supposed to be. I think the movement is a Hahn-Landeron caliber of some kind. Pretty strange.
