Was expecting this one today, and it did not disappoint. 😀
Airane Type 20 (though I think technically it is a Type 21), issued by the French Army to helicopter pilots. This example is circa 1969, Valjoux caliber 222 with flyback or "retour en vol" feature. The three star mark indicates chronometer certification by the Besançon Observatory.

That is breathtakingly beautiful. It's been a while since I've been that blown away by a vintage watch that I wasn't aware existed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP: Do not play Metallica (Kill'em All) while taking your mother-in-law to the airport.
or when the passengers are taking their seats, presumably....

Re-United with my first ever Omega and decent watch ... I'm liking the new NATO for summer... I used to tell anyone and everyone that it was 'James Bond's watch' and that's all I knew about it then!

Not sure how I feel about this one yet, it's a biggie. Does anyone have the correct bracelet? I think it's the same bracelet for the calculator. bc6d5e84ce5e66a49cdfbec6c8f917e5.jpg

Oh...that probably wouldn't go over too well. 😉
