With a waterproof rating of 5 ATM, this watch is both functional and stylish, perfect for those who appreciate a blend of heritage and modern design.
From the brand: The watch part is a Waltham reprint of the pilot navigation watch TYPE A-17. It is an improved version of TYPE-16 and has been issued since the 1950s. Around this time, the development of aircraft led to the appearance of all-weather fighter planes that could take off at night or in the rain, and from around this time pilot's watches needed to have a 24-hour display on their dials. The hours from 13:00 to 24:00 are printed inside the indexes (hours) from 1 to 12. The phosphorescent indexes at that time have discolored to an orange-brown color due to aging. There is also some peeling in places. This brings out the right vintage feel, and we have put some effort into recreating it. Comes with khaki nylon strap.
