The watch part is a homage of the pilot navigation watch TYPE A-17.
It is an improved version of TYPE-16 and has been issued since the 1950s.
Around this time, the development of aircraft led to the appearance of all-weather fighter planes that could take off at night or in the rain, and from around this time pilot's watches needed to have a 24-hour display on their dials. The hours from 13:00 to 24:00 are printed inside the indexes (hours) from 1 to 12.
The phosphorescent indexes at that time have discolored to an orange-brown color due to aging. There is also some peeling in places.
This brings out the right vintage feel, and we have put some effort into recreating it.

First class representation of the A-17 specification. Spot on 32mm case size which is beautifully machined on the bezel and back. An imposing knurled crown makes setting the time and hacking a smooth operation. A clean accurate dial which has a patina giving the appearance of the original vintage pieces. The hand set makes for easy time reading through the domed crystal. Fitted Ronda quartz movement is keeping good time, 5 second gain over the two weeks since receiving the watch. So light on the wrist you hardly now it's there. I've fitted mine on the MRMW single pass period accurate green cloth strap.
Fantastic value for money from an excellent company which was very helpful and quick to respond to email inquiries. My delivery to the U.K was 5 days from ordering.
My only point of note is that the lume could be a little brighter.
Do your research, you won't beat the spec on this homage.
Lume is a lil weak but it's a good replica watch
I had been waiting for a long time for someone to recreate this timepiece and here it is. It is absolutely the closest you can get to an A-17 without owning an original. You will not be disappointed!
