This means translated from Czech to English that the watch with this inscription was the property of the Czechoslovak military air force with the registration number 1680. The difference between these watches that have this inscription and those that do not have this inscription engraved on the back of the watch is that the watches that do not have that inscription engraved on the back of the watch were intended for free sale to all customers.
