The "watch the won the war"! The A11 was the standard issue watch to USAAF aircrew throughout the war, being produced between 1942 and 1945. Made by Bulova, Hamilton, and this example by Waltham! This example comes in worn shape, though has recently been fully serviced and is now running like a champion. The serial number 31,163,203 put manufacturing in 1942.
Condition
Well used with wear across the case. The dial and hands have a nice worn patina but are largely good. Keeping pretty good time, with +/1 30 secs on a timegrapher. I've checked it over 6 hours and it's lost 10/15 secs. Comes on a deadstock 1945 strap.
Please be mindful, this is a 80 year old watch and should be treated accordingly! It's unlikely to be waterproof, and I wouldn't wear it to do any strenuous activity or sports etc!
