A small part of the text from "A Concise Guide to Military Timepieces"....

" In 1942 Zenith supplied the Royal Navy with a fine quality deck watch.
These were fitted with staybrite screw back cases engraved with the
Hydrographic Service "H.S.3" code and broad arrow mark.
The 15 jewel movement was equipped with a micrometer adjustable balance and center seconds hand....
... These watches are based on the same movement that was used in the production of the
Royal Flying Corps issue timepieces circa 1916....
After the war the Zenith HS3 deck watches went into storage at the chronometer section of the
Hydrographic Department at Herstmonceaux castle: there, during the 1950's, they had their
enamel dials replaced with special decimal dials, using smaller hour and minute hands.
This indicates that the watches' "time telling" ability is of only secondary importance to their main
intended function. The dial layout give emphasis to minutes, which are picked out in red on the
intermediate chapter ring; and an outer ring has been calibrated to indicate 100 units per minute.
These watches were particularly useful for rapid mathematical calculations, where time
equations could be more rapidly determined and expressed in terms of decimals.
At the time of alteration the screw back case has had the original "H.S.3" mark cancelled
and has been engraved with the new NATO stores numbers:... ....
the last four digits are the movement serial number"
