    For sale my lovely vintage Airman with cal. Felsa 692 inside. The watch is fully original, including crystal and crowns. The radium is all there. Truly a honest example, with a super clean dial, difficult to come by these days. The affordable glossy bezel toolwatch from the 1950s. It runs tremendously and has fully functional bezel lock and mechanical hacking functions, which is rather rare.

    Glycine Airman
    36mm excluding crown(s), 20mm lugsize
    1957 serial number
    The watch is sold head only
    Shipping happens BOMB-PROOF (box in box) and through UPS with Secursus insurance
    The watch is located in Belgium (EU)
    Cal. Felsa 692
    Asking price: EUR 1.600 net to me, this includes shipping

    Case, bezel, caseback, crystal and crown
    Full stainless steel case in very nice shape with sharp lugs. The unsigned crowns are the original ones. The crystal as well, with only slight scratches. Very good screw caseback with vertical brushing fully there and crisp engravings. The bezel is the original finish 'small dots' example - note that some of the black numeral paint is gone. The bezel lock works perfectly.

    Hands and dial
    The matte black dial is in beautiful condition, no scratches, spotting, or similar blemishes. The slightly corroded hands are wonderful and the radium shows the same ageing as on the dial. Note that the corrosion and lume ageing is more apparent on the minute hand tip/upper part. All white text is crisp and quite striking.

    Caliber and service
    The Felsa 692 caliber runs tremendously well, it was serviced a couple of years back while in possession of the previous owner and that shows on the timegrapher readouts. Ready to wear piece. Everything works as should, including the date flips. The mechanical hacking also works flawlessly!

    Returns are of course allowed if I misrepresented the watch or the condition.
