Hi all,

Quick question, when did the Flightmaster style cases first appear? I believe the first Flightmaster was in 1969 but was the case style used prior to that for anything? Whatever ya'll can tell me is terrific, thanks very much.

That case style is referred to as the pilot line. Based on my limited research, I agree with you that the flightmaster was the first watch to use it in '69.
Here is a link to an overview of the other models:
