Can anyone tell me about this watch / brand?

found this in my Grandpa's basement, sadly I cannot ask him about it anymore.

looks like a trench style watch, I've estimated it around 1920-1930s but I can't find it online..

Seem to be a Longines homage.

The dial looks to new too be as vintage.

The company is from Italy and they do jewelry as well.

Wow! That’s a beautiful find 🤩

VIRTUS = Oris Watch Co, Hölstein, Courgenay and Holderbank, Switzerland, registered 1922.

Virtus appears to be an Italian brand that are still going (or have been reborn) today. This is available for €800 on their website. The design cues are obvious.

yeah i cannot tell if that's the same virtus as the Italian brand (no logo, no similar designs and it says Swiss made)
