Full Description
The US WW2 A-11 military service watch reproduces the standard wartime Allied navigation timepiece.
Iconic Military Standard
Built under military specification 94-27834-B, the Type A-11 served as the standard navigation wristwatch across USAAF, RAF, and Allied aircrews. Originally supplied by Elgin, Waltham, and Bulova, it became known as the watch that helped win the air war. This reproduction features the classic black dial with crisp white outer minute demarcations.
Combat Navigation & Hacking
Precision timing was vital for coordinated bombing runs and tactical air navigation. This model incorporates a functional hacking feature powered by a reliable battery quartz movement. Pulling the crown halts the sweep seconds hand immediately, allowing reenactors to synchronise timing down to the exact second in the field.
Original Specification & Fit
Made to original dimensions, the watch features a 32mm stainless steel case with a coin-edge bezel and stamped military case back. Luminous syringe hands and numeric indices provide clear reading in low light after exposure. An adjustable 23cm olive drab canvas strap with metal eyelets fits wrists up to 20.5cm.
Add this iconic A-11 navigation watch to your field kit for your next living history event or daily wear.
