HISTORY & DESIGN

The history and details behind this watch.

The TYPE A-11 design was adopted by the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Bulova, Elgin and Waltham were its contractors at the time.

Testing began in 1937, and the design became standard equipment in 1940. It came to represent one of the characteristic watches of the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Like aircraft instruments, the deep-black dial with white Arabic numerals reduces the design to its essentials. These carefully chosen details give the watch excellent legibility.
