Glycine Airman Special

Description

The Glycine Airman Special vintage military watch was used in Vietnam and made popular amongst military servicemen and pilots everywhere. From the 1950s to the 1970s pilots have relied on them due to their bold and easy-to-read 24-hour dial. These dials display both 24-hour time and conventional time at the same time. This example is very clean and original including the black dial and hands along with the uncommon 10-sided case, which still has the serial number visible. The lower crown locks the rotating bezel. The automatic winding, 24-hour movement was recently cleaned and is accurate. This watch retains the original crosshatched crown and even the correct round bubbledate crystal. The hacking seconds on this watch is not functioning and parts are not available to fix, otherwise the timekeeping is perfect. Due to the desirability of the Glycine Airman, there are fakes out there, but we know the difference.
