Key Features

• Vintage USAAF Design: Faithfully replicates the original Waltham Watch used by American air forces in 1942, capturing the rugged elegance and functional simplicity of WWII-era timepieces. Every detail, from the dial layout to the case shape, reflects the utilitarian design principles of wartime aviation watches.
• Swiss-Quartz Movement: Ensures reliable timekeeping with high precision, offering an accuracy range of -20 to +40 seconds per day and a power reserve exceeding 40 hours. This movement beats at 21,600 BPH (3 Hz), delivering smooth, consistent operation with 6 semi-cycles per second.
• Stainless Steel Case: Constructed from corrosion- and scratch-resistant stainless steel, providing long-term durability and protection against daily wear. The robust case safeguards the internal mechanism while maintaining a sleek, military-inspired profile.
• Canvas Strap with Leather Lining: Combines the classic military look of canvas with the comfort and breathability of a soft leather interior. The dual-layer design ensures a secure fit and reduces moisture buildup, making it ideal for extended wear in various conditions.
• 10 ATM Water Resistance: Rated for depths up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water-related activities without compromising internal components. This level of protection ensures the watch remains functional even during active use.
• High Luminescence: Both watch hands are luminous, allowing for clear time reading in low-light or dark conditions—essential for operational use, just as in the original field watches. This feature enhances practicality for outdoor adventures or nighttime wear.

Important Notes

This is a limited edition reproduction, not an original wartime artifact.

Care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or chemicals, which may affect the strap or finish. Regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth is recommended to maintain appearance.
