Again in the Airman rabbit hole 馃榾
This one was my first pick of 2025.
Airman Special from 1968, fully working and quite full set, with its original fixoflex bracelet and the wooden box:

Congrats! That one has some nice honest wear on it - was it a single owner?

Thanks! Yes, it comes from a single owner in the US.

I know it's far too soon to say this, but: dibs 馃榿

Maybe I should add a vintage airman to my 2025 wishlist. These are so cool. Someone had one at the Mid-Atlantic meetup and it was really fun to see the hacking feature.

Wow, congratulations. If I may ask, how did you find that?

I just picked up a c.1986 Airman (no box or bracelet!)... will post photos once I have the watch in hand.

Thanks and sorry! Looking at your watch at the meetup really renewed my interest in collecting one of these.

Does anyone know: did any other watches ever have a hacking feature like this, or is a unique feature?
