The watch part is a Waltham reprint of the pilot navigation watch TYPE A-17. It is an improved version of TYPE-16 and has been issued since the 1950s. Around this time, the development of aircraft led to the appearance of all-weather fighter planes that could take off at night or in the rain, and from around this time pilot's watches needed to have a 24-hour display on their dials.
The hours from 13:00 to 24:00 are printed inside the indexes (hours) from 1 to 12. The phosphorescent indexes at that time have discolored to an orange-brown color due to aging. There is also some peeling in places. This brings out the right vintage feel, and we have put some effort into recreating it.
