The
rare 1950's GLYCINE AIRMAN vintage military watch was used
in Vietnam; popular amongst military servicemen and pilots
everywhere during the 1950's-70's due to the bold and easy
to read 24 hour dial. These dials display both 24 hour time
and conventional time at the same time! This example is spectacular
overall...all original, including the black dial with military
hands (excellent condition) having the original bubble date
crystal displaying early and rarer 1950's red date. The lower
crown locks the rotating bezel. The entire case is in stellar
condition with no major dings or scratches. The automatic
winding, signed GLYCINE FELSA 692 movement was recently cleaned
and is keeping time very well! The FELSA 692 was the first
movement used from 1950-60. This movement was fully serviced
at the GLYCINE service center with receipt in our pictures
and included in the sale. These watches are very hard to find...quite
collectable... and uncommon in this all original condition!
Please note; many are not aware, GLYCINE AIRMAN watches have
a hacking seconds feature. When the crown is pulled out a
hollow tube shoots up a microscopic wire at 12:00 stopping
the second hand when it reaches 12:00! This hacking seconds
feature is working perfectly! Please also note. PARTS TO FIX
SECOND STOP ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE...they sold out. Due to
the desirability of the GLYCINE AIRMAN, there are FAKES out
there...we know the difference...many are getting scammed...be
careful...especially on eBay! Please note: These Airmans' are becoming VERY hard to find as of the 2008. It seems collectors have harboured them and fresh AIRMANS are NOT coming to market. Please be aware that clean models at this price may soon be unavailable. This is a prime all correct
and original example of a 1950's GLYCINE Airman with hacking
seconds! $1995.
