Identification assistance

I was hoping that someone might be able to throw some light on this thing I have had for many years, I haven't been able to find anything similar, I was hoping the symbol which looks like an "N" with a line over the top might ring a bell , thanks in advance ...

Is it a watch?

Hmmmm…
I am guessing early Victorinox Swiss Army watch that sort of looks like a Heuer Bund if you squint a bit, but…
The markings on the rear are interesting. They don’t follow any format I am familiar with but could ST be an abbreviation for Staffle = Squadron
536 = a unit
And then the number below be a serial number?

Thanks for that, I don't imagine it is a proper military watch, the case back is just a push fit so, not very water resistant. The movement is nice in that the centre chrono second hand seem to advance in 0.25 sec increments rather than 1 sec.

The line over the N is called a 'vinculum'. It's usually a mathematical term & I'm not sure of its purpose here.

Plenty of issued watches have poor water resistance, some have press on case backs

it looks more like TT to my untrained eye. too wide for N.
