I just got this issued, worn, untouched Glycine Airman with its original wooden box.

The movement is an A. Schild AS1701 modified for 24h and enhanced by the ingenius zero-stop mechanism: the seconds hand stops at 0 if the crown is pulled.

The pointed extended tail of the hour hand is used together with the revolving bezel for a second time zone.

Enjoy,

2828 "471"
Fun Little project watch I did last year. I could barely make out a textured dial with crosshairs through the crystal in the seller's photos. I was able to purchase it on the cheap since the hands, crown, and stem were wrong. They were wrong because someone had replaced the movement with Quartz! I sourced a proper 471 movement, made a minor repair to it, sourced some NOS hands and it is back in business. Yes the second hand is a little short, but at least it ticks more than once a second!
Perfect for @ulackfocus
