Notes

Engraved on the back: "Pat. 314050 and the number". This watch was unofficially used by American Marines, and was one of the most popular models used by An Force pilots. Two models of this watch were produced: one with black dial and the other one with silver dial, both with luminescent numerals and hands. This watch follows the idea and system of the Weems watch by Longines.
