HISTORY & DESIGN

The history and details behind this watch.

This model recreates the early white-dial TYPE A-11 issued to the U.S. Army Air Corps. It was distributed to pilots as standard equipment in 1940.

Like the Longines and LeCoultre Weems-type A-11 watches issued around the same time, the early version had a white dial. White dials are thought to have remained in use until around 1942, before the transition to black.

Far fewer white-dial examples exist than black-dial versions. This is our recreation of that rare model.

Recreated with the approximately 32 mm case proportions of the original. This watch has a case width of 32.1 mm, excluding the crown.
