Any info on this model or where I can get something like it?

I sincerely doubt it’s a genuine Zippo. Seems dimensionally incorrect for both a slim and standard. Not to mention, the watch is either glued on, which I doubt, or inset, which would mean that this can’t be a Zippo.

There have always (certainly since the ‘50s at least) been companies that made knock-off Zippos. This is likely one of those, with the watch as a gimmick to attract you to that particular knockoff.

Pure speculation, but I’d wager this was bought in Korea, and made locally. I really don’t doubt the story; it’s far from uncommon to have a lighter that a relative carried through a war. Back then, it was almost certainly more likely to have a lighter than not.
