dustin Posted February 22 Share #3 Posted February 22 Does the dial say AIR CORP? unfortunately the minute hand is obscuring the third letter. If so, that is a little odd they would be using the term in 1950's. The company was known as Selza since 1923, so perhaps it is an early USAAC procured type wrist watch. Pre-WWII. The back does have 1950, but that may not necessarily be a date rather a serial number of sorts, or could be a replaced back as well. Interesting piece either way. I too did a quick google search and found one with just US on the face that they were calling 1950's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1canpara Posted February 23 Share #4 Posted February 23 The number on the back is actually L 950 so probably a serial number of some type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmar836 Posted February 24 Share #8 Posted February 24 So this is for sale, I assume? I don’t see it as an issue watch. Does it have a hack function? Even if it did this is not a contractor of WWII watches and any unique story would need to be backed up. Parts watches are all over and as common as issue watches. Even I have dabbled in the hobby and have rebuilt watches. You can drop any face on any movement of the same size. They were apart every 4 yrs or so back in the 50s for cleaning so such a cobbled-together thing isn’t unlikely at all. Less so than a complete contract watch showing up. Without some pretty good paperwork I would easily consider this a fantasy watch. JMO, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
