Different shades of light Impressively accurate for such an old thing, within a minute per week ... does the 12.68Z rule them all ?
I started out collecting US issued watches when I got into military watch collecting. In the bay area in Calif. were I use to live they were easy to find and cheap even then European issued watches were not cheap compared to the US issued ones. Took me a while to get my feet wet with European issued watches once I did I got hooked on collecting European issued watches. Now I wished I bought a few more issued US dive watches and a WW2 Hanhart before the prices shot up. Lucky now to ad one issued watch a year since prices went crazy with the European issued watches. They are cooler and a better size for the wrist. A few of my US issued watches I kept sold a few of the doubles but keeping these due to my Dad was a flight engineer and gunner on TBM avengers in WW2 he was issued a Waltham A-11 wished I had his he lost it but got a Waltham A-11 due to that. Last years military time piece was a Hamilton model 21 chronometer. Like I say one a year due to I got expensive taste.
Not wearing this one anymore. It’s in a display case with other things. I bought it just before An exercise in the California desert on March afb in 1986. I remember wishing it didn’t say khaki on the dial, but it was the same as the older Hamilton mil spec watches on the inside. It never gave me a moment of trouble and still keeps good time if I wind it. They came with the earliest nylon straps I wore. Green and khaki.
