Military Montes -- No Rotating Bezels


I have never owned or inspected one of these, but from what I see on the internet, the Monte Carlos issued by British armed forces had a fixed (non-rotating) bezel. Some did not have the "Heuer" or "Monte Carlo" names on the dials, even though they were made by Heuer. I imagine that the pilot stationed who-knows-where did not need to be reminded of the good life in Monte Carlo!!
