HISTORY & DESIGN
The history and details behind this watch.
Our TYPE A-17 Vintage recreates Waltham’s version of the TYPE A-17 pilot’s navigation watch.
An improved version of the TYPE-16, the A-17 began to be issued in the 1950s. With the arrival of all-weather aircraft capable of operating at night and in rain, pilots increasingly needed 24-hour indications. Inside the 1–12 hour numerals, a second scale shows 13–24.
On surviving originals, the luminous hour markings have aged to an orange-brown tone and have flaked away in places. We took particular care to recreate this appealing vintage character.
