Looks military? Is it using the .292 calibre for centre seconds?

This is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and its hard for me to figure. I am fixing up an old house in Germany that belonged to my wifes parents, and their parents, and ~~~ way back. The windows were in bad shape, so I restored all of them in the house and shop, but first I had to get to them. Covered in nails and wire with stuff hung every place, in wood and concrete ~ it took months.
Yesterday, we found one automatic Anker watch in a drawer in the shop behind the house in a cabinet. Still in great shape + it was working and had correct time ~ we all agreed, but no knob on the side for winding up or setting .Probably put there by my wifes opa age 90, before 1999 when the shop was closed up since. Cleaning out the “opa-museum” a surgical tool / instrument makers shop took months, but full of many old machines and things.
Oddest part is Opa had been in a russian prison during the 2nd world war ~ last night a truck driver who got stuck on our road/mainstreet, that I helped one night a few weeks ago, stopped by to thank us in a very Russian way. The bag he brought had Vodka and wine and food. We proceeded to get sauced. Since, Russians get offended,if you don’t drink with them. I haven’t been drunk in 20 years. Getting up today took quite a while. When researching the info about the watch, I noticed it stopped overnight at about 7:40pm last night, the same time the Russian came knocking on the door.
I tapped on the back of the watch today, it started working again. Now the time is wrong and there is no way to set it. Will have to take it to a shop to get it set.

I have one much older than the one shown, but I`m having trouble finding an expert on Anker Watches. For photos contact me at forjustice36@hotmail.com. This watch works, made in Germany.
