This navigation-chronometer was used by the USAF on long haul flights (see (AF) on pocketwatch back)). The watch was used by navigation-pilots from World War II until the end of the 60's. The movement and the original 24h dial has been transferred to a new wristwatch case, in such a way, that it can be reconverted to the pocketwatch. The movement inside the wristwatch can be seen trough its crystal back. The movement features 6 adjustments and additional adjustment for temperature. The movement has 22 jewels. The movement integrates the hacking function in order for the pilots to synchronize before an attack. On the next page you can find all the production lots and effective date of series manufactured.
