HISTORY & DESIGN

The history and details behind this watch.

Our TYPE A-11 24H Black recreates the military-watch character of the TYPE A-11 used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. On this unusual 24-hour watch, the hour hand makes one complete revolution every 24 hours.

We paid particular attention to the shape of the hands. The numerals and hands have a slightly brownish tone to give the dial an antique appearance.

As aviation developed, all-weather fighters became capable of operating at night and in rain. The combination of a black dial and 24-hour markings, a distinctive feature of military watches, continued into the Vietnam War era.
