These photos taken as screen shots in a USAF video about a August 1943 bombing mission 500 miles into Germany.

60 bombers and crew lost.

The watch shots show two Gruens, one with the nylon strap visible.

The other watch?

I discovered the website on The Aviator’s Thread here on OF. (Thank you DoctorEvil)

thanks for sharing! I've started taking a deeper dive into US watchmakers that helped support the war effort, so this is right up my alley. If there are any vintage Gruen, Wittnauer, Bulova or Hamilton you like or find interesting, please let me know!
