··Thanks, mystery donor!Longines 1940 A11-USAAC (US Army Air corps). Evidently this one didn’t see much fighting.

The inscription on the caseback makes it so much more than a timekeeper. There's history and a person now part ofthis watch forever. Thanks for sharing and congrats on finding a bezel.

·Neat piece. I wonder if you know the reference and order numbers? Presumably, the serial number dates the watch to the early to mid-1940s?
Not sure about reference but movement serial is around 6,2 mil.

·Thanks for the response. 6.2 million should be early 1940s, which definitely fits with the dial/hand design. I am curious about the case because I am accustomed to seeing this dial in more angular cases. If you open the case-back or get an extract, I would be interested to learn more.
As soon as I get some info I'll share it here 😀
