Hi,

Found this watch a Silvana, in an old junk shop, from what I can find out on the net the D 329135 H on the back means it was German Army WW2.

Yes I gather that such Swiss brands as Silvana and Doxa made German issue military watches in WWII.
Silvana dates from 1868 in Tramelan and survived into the 1970s as far as I know. I don't know if they are still active or not.
