“G. C. T.” (Greenwich Civil Time)
Called the “Master Navigational Watch”, these pocket watches were used by the Navigator on Bomber aircraft like the B-17, B-24, and B-29. Each dial was marked with “G. C. T.”, known at the time as “Greenwich Civil Time” because that was the standard European time-zone.
