·1965-2025 marks 60 years Glycine Airman automatic in spaceflight...
Just a quick reminder we'll have to put the Glycine Airman automatic pilot watch in the spotlights this year as in the spring of 1965 NASA astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad started Gemini training with his Glycine Airman automatic and flew it on both Gemini V (August 1965) and Gemini XI (September 1966) spaceflight mssions.
During the latter, Conrad's Glycine Airman Automatic pilot watch was directly exposed to outer space during Richard Gordon's EVAs.

Possible. Looks close. Looks a little slim but that might be the angle.
The bracelet looks correct, although there's a gap between the watch head and end link.

·I have an Airman 2000 World Timer I got in 2008. It was my second automatic and first 24hr watch. It needs servicing and I don't trust the outfit in Utah. I think it's a top grade ETA 2893-2 that's slightly decorated with rotor adornment and display back. I'm thinking of taking it to my local guy, let him install some kit gaskets and he should be able to rebuild the rotor as required.
