These
GRUEN AIRFLIGHT watches were used by pilots in the 1950's
as they displayed conventional time; then, after midnight
all the numerals in the apertures switch over to 24 hour time.
The watches featured 24-hour dials, sweep second hands and
the numbers 1 through 12 on the outside of the dial and 13
through 24 on the inner ring to accommodate military time.
This dial is perfectly and accurately restored. Notice the original and interesting hands. The
stainless steel screw back case with base metal top measures
35mm. across. This chrome plated case has very minor wear on the rear edges...not even noticeable with the naked eye. These "white" metal cases are harder
to find than the more usual gold filled varieties. The manual
winding movement was cleaned and is accurate.
