Few pics of my "OLD" Airman one...
Hi all
Here are some pictures of my Airman with his notice instructions.
My version is "Old" Airman, which puts it in the late 50s.
I was lucky to find it in its original configuration. To be honest, I was not really quiet compared to the number of false lurking.
A friend expert has kindly reassured me and the seller has finally convinced me.
This Airman 1 has several features that are good indicators of its originality.
Red date, with plexiglass lens, not corrugated crown, no automatic marking on the dial, screw back and Felsa engine.
In the picture above, the locking system of the bezel as on Weems.
This watch has a sense of strength and sophistication. The dial is super loaded, which gives charm to the watch.
It quickly adapts to the reading of 24 hours and without reading the second time is immediate.
The caseback & his Patent.
Finally, I do not advise you this Airman. It has a heavy military past, a set of very technical specifications and design exudes a real presence on the wrist.

I only saw another one, from the same date, but it was in a very bad shape. Yours seems to be in great shape and the instructions just make it more attractive. The original Airman the type of watch that I like, story and complication wise. Congratulations...
Congrats on a lovely Airman
Always been a fan of this watch, although never managed to get my head around 24 hr dials. If I remember rightly it has a unique hacking mechanism. Here's the classic picture of a US pilot wearing one. (credit - ) ...
Yes...
when you pull the crown, a "baguette" appears between 2 and 4 24 hours and stop the second.
very nice condition for its age Doug
the Glycine Airman has always been one of my favourite 24hr watches along with its competitor, the O&W earlybird. as i mentioned in the wristscan, i have owned one, let it go and now looking at a couple more that are nearly from 1964. i dont know if you f...

You are Graham. The owner of this early is a collector of Glycine Airman. When I saw him for the deal, He had a beautiful Special on his wrist. If I had to catch another one, it will be probably a white dial version. © ...

No such thing as an expert Doug. I just narrowed down what i wanted using what i could find on the net. A white dial would be a superb addition if you can find one for sale. Best G On 19 Apr 2013 10:30, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > ...

I am amazed by the design of this watch. It's typed 60 while appeared in the mid 50. Best Doug
