1914-1918 ********************************************************* WWI WALTHAM 8 DAY FLIGHT Military 24 Hr Dial With Raised Radium, Illuminated Numerals/Hands RESTORED BY ROCK 1915-1921 FRENCH JAQUET FLIGHT DASH TIMER W/ALUMINUM MOUNT Rear Winding. Top Start Stop. Side Return TDC
****************************** WHEEMS The First True Aviators Watch Designed By A Pilot Specifically For Pilots By An Industry Great That Laid The Ground Work For The Both The Linburgh Hour Angle Watch And Glycine Airman Was The Longine Weems…. … In 1927 – The Year Lindbergh Crossed The Atlantic. Captain Philip Van Horn Weems (1889-1979) Designed The “Weems System Of Navigation” His “System” Employed A Modified Sextant Taking Two “Shots” Of The Sun, Allied To An Accurate Time Reading From His “Second Setting Watch”, Followed By Making Reference To The Tables In The Line Of Positions Book. In 1929,Captain Philip Van Horn Weems DESIGNED A Second Setting Watch Watch That Used A Rotating Exterior Bezel Or Center Dial With Minutes/Seconds Chapter Ring To Synchronize The Watch To The Second Using The Radio Time Signal Without Adjusting The Hands AND Incorporated A Second “Locking” Crown That Allowed The User To Lock Down The Rotating Bezel At The Precise Timing On The Bezel. His “System” Then Employed A Modified Sextant Taking Two “Shots” Of The Sun, Allied To An Accurate Time Reading From His “Second Setting Watch”, Followed By Making Reference To The Tables In The Line Of Positions Book. (The Line Of Position Book Provided Extensive Charts With Precalculated Positions; Allowing A Pilot To Look Up The Positions Quickly And Easily, Instead Of Performing The Complicated Calculations Himself.)
Unless Your Watch Had A Hacking Seconds-Hand, Like The A-11 Pilots WWII Watch W/Hack Introduced Ten Years Later, Along With Precise Timekeeping And You’Ve Set Your Watch It Correctly In The First Place, You Can Be Out By A Few Seconds At Any Given Time And A Few Seconds At High Air Speeds Over Great Distances Can Prove Dangerous, If Not Fatal. The Weems System Along With His Invention Of The Second Setting Watch Enabled Pilots And Navigators To Read Truly Accurate Time Directly From The Watch Face During An Era When Chronometric Precision Was Costly And Rare. Especially With The Help Of A Radio Signal…. In 1929, in partnership with Longines, Weems registered a patent for his design. Longines produced the original 28mm “WEEMS” with locking crown at 2 position and added a 30mm larger model with locking crown at 4 position., [thus the Weems came in two sizes. one the same size as the decade later U.S. GOV MIL WWII A-11 PILOTS WATCH]
THE SECOND AVIATOR DESIGNED WATCH FOR THE AVIATOR FURTHER BUILDING THE BLOCKS Hour Angle Watch
Charles A. Lindbergh, A Pupil Of Weems, Used The Weems Concept As An Additional Feature In His Hour Angle Watch. This First “Hour Angle” Watch, Which Was Patented By Lindbergh, Had A Hand Wound Pocket Watch Movement Inside Of A Huge Case And An Extra Long Leather Strap For Wearing Over A Thick Flight Jacket Sleeve. The Crown Was Over sized To Facilitate Winding While Wearing Gloves. Featuring A Demarcated Rotating Bezel That Allowed For The Equation Of Time (The Difference Between A Standardized 24-Hour Day And The Fluctuating Time Of The Earth’s Travel Around The Sun) It Was An Accurate Time Piece Which Calculated Longitude. A Rotating Central Disc On The Dial Allowed For The Synchronization Of The Seconds Without Stopping The Sweeping Hand. Unique Dial Markings Allowed A Pilot To Instantly Tell His Location By Corresponding The Time With The Earth’s 360-Degree Rotation (The “Hour Angle’). Both The Bezel Locking Mechanism Of Weems, And The Use Of An External Bezel For Flight WAS INCLUDED By Lindbergh. LATER Added 24Hr Modified Movements By Helbros And A Few Others WERE RELEASED In 1942. Lindbergh Offered Gylcine The Opportunity To Produce the Hour Angle But They DECLINED. Later, Focusing On The Glycine Airman, Glycine Researched Patent Free Hacking Methods. By 1939/40 The A-11 and a-17 produced independently by companies who created and patented their own methods of hacking. BULOVA, Elgin Waltham made mainly military watches. Glycine would have to design their own hacking mechanism. . THUS FOR GLYCINE ONLY A PATENT FREE HACKING METHOD WAS LEFT TO TACKLE. THE A-11 AND A-17 METHOD OF HACKING WAS PATENT. BULOVA, ELGIN WALTHAM WERE ABLE TO MAKE ONLY MILITARY WATCHES. GLYCINE WOULD HAVE TO DESIGN THEIR OWN HACKING MECHANISM. .IT WOULD TAKE 18 YEARS. ******************************************************* ROLEX WWII AND THE BRITISH By the start of WWII, Rolex had acquired SO MUCH prestige that Royal Air Force pilots bought them to replace their inferior Gov Issued watches. The result was that Captured officers sent to POW camps had their watches confiscated with intent. When Hans Wilsdorf learned of these facts, he offered to replace each and every Rolex to every individual Officer who could would write and explain the circumstances of their loss and inform him what camp they were in. As a result of this program , an estimated 3,000 Rolex watches were ordered by British officers in the Oflag (prison camp for officers) VII B POW camp in Bavaria alone. This had the effect of raising the morale among the allied POWs. American servicemen who heard about this program when stationed in Europe opened the door to America for Rolex after the war.
ROLEX PLAYED A PROMINENT ROLE IN THE LEGENDARY “GREAT ESCAPE”. ******************************************************** THE FIRST US GOV MILITARY ISSUE PILOT WATCH RESTORED BY ROCK The Vintage USACC A-7 AVIGNATION Was Produced Utilizing A Longines T986 Silver Cased Pocket Watch/Stop Watch Combine. The Watch Had A Standard Industry Button In Center Of Crown For The Timing Device. You Would Press Once To Start, Again To Stop, Once More To Return The Seconds Hand To TDC. It Was, In Fact. The First Signed Us Government Issued Pilots Watch I Am Aware Of, An A-7 Designation And “USARMY Ac” And The Word “AVIGNATION” For Aviation And Navigation On Case Back-. Year Mid 1930. ********************************************************* 1939 GALLET A Gallet timepiece of particular renown was the Flight Officer time zone chronograph. Commissioned by Senator Harry S. Truman in 1939 for pilots of the United States Army Air Forces. The Flight Officer (a.k.a. Flying Officer) had a rotating 12 hour bezel and the names of 48 major world cities printed on the periphery of the dial (face). These features made it possible to calculate changes in the time as an aviator flew across lines of longitude. Besides being the first time zone calculating wristwatch, the Flight Officer was one of the world’s first wrist chronographs to be housed in a water resistant case. Truman wore a Gallet Flight Officer during his terms as 33rd president (1945–1953). ****************************************************** RESTORED BY ROCK RESTORED BY ROCK ********************************************************
Produced By Various Makers, The A-11 For WWII And The A-17 For The Korean War – Which Had An Additional 24Hr Radium Chapter- Were Specific Pilot’/Navigator Watches– Though The Watch Would Be Utilized By Other Branches, Including Ground Troops, EACH COMPANY THAT PRODUCED AN A-11 Had THEIR OWN Patented Hacking Lever –Similar To Just About All Stop Watches Made From Late 1800 To Present Day. THE A-11 AND A-17 ONLY STOPPED WHEN CROWN WAS PULLED AND STARTED WHEN PUSHED BACK IN. The Watch Is Wound. The Button/Crown Is IN Pushed In POSITION. YOU WAIT TILL SECOND HAND IS AT TDC [12] AND PULL CROWN IF YOU ARE WITH OTHER PILOTS NAVIGATORS YOU ALL DO THIS. THEN YOU ZULU, OR SET WATCH TO TIME THEN EVERY ONE PUSHES THEIR CROWNS BACK IN THAT WAY ALL WATCHES ARE TIMED EXACT A “Hack Lever” IS WHAT Begins THE Action, PULLING CROWN Releases A Friction Stop Lever Into The Balance, A Wheels Or Pinion [DEPENDING ON DESIGN] Causing The Balance To Cease Rotation. Pressing Crown IN/Down Releases The Lever And Time Restarts. On Stop Watches/Timers An Additional Push Makes The Second Timing Hand Return To Top Dead Center. Most Timers Have Since Late 1800 Added Additional Buttons Controlling Mechanisms. A-8 Jitterbug 10 SEC Only Timers Such As The WWII A-8 Navigation 10Sec Timer, That Oscillate At Such Incredible Speed , CANNOT HAVE THEIR BALANCE STOPPED WHILE OPERATING. Any Abrupt Stoppage Could Damage The Staff/Balance Are Without A Hacking Mechanism.. INSTEAD, THE METHOD OF HACK/STOP IS FREEING HANDS FROM MECHANISM. SO, These Timers Do Not Have Hacking Levers YET Are Hi Frequency Timing Devices. their BALANCE IS Revolving Back And Forth At Thousands Of Beats Per Second. Stopping These Would Break the Balance. BUT THEY ARE HACKING. THE FACT IS PUSHING CROWN DISENGAGES HANDS FROM MECHANISM ALLOWING RETURN TO TDC. WHILE WATCH CONTINUES TO RUN ALLOWING REPEATED TIMING. 10 SEC IS THE FASTEST/PRECISE MILITARY TIMER. The Elgin And Waltham A-8 USA Military 10 Second Navigation Timers Are The Extreme Few That Have 15 Jewels Compared With Other High End Timers Including The Gallat Co. Top End Have 7 Jewels top. The A-8 Was Named The Jitterbug Due To The Loud Chirping Clicking Sound Of The Balance Spinning At Tens Of Thousands Of Beats Per Hour
With most timers, you can stop the second or counter hand at any time and return it to top dead center. On the a-11, IT ONLY STOPS WERE IT IS, YOU HAD TO STOP WHEN SECOND HAND IS TDC When you pull the crown the watch stops enabling you to time it perfect. Now, you push crown in when it it at correct time w/center second had at twelve. SET TIME Then push the crown. You can now be on the same time as the entire squadron. Also you now can time an event. While not like the a-7, it was the most advanced all around military watch. Once more: The A-11/A-17, as well as watches made for the Vietnam war, the action began by pulling the crown, which then activates the hack lever stopping the balance.. This hacking ability of allowed one to set exact time, to time an event, and, most importantly, allowed a group of fliers and navigators, ground forces, along with commanders on the ground or in far off command posts, to all have exact time. Yes, to all set their time pieces exactly,a critical important fact is that these hacking watches did not have a fly back mechanism. Recall, a fly back mechanism is the device that causes the second hand to return to tdc [top dead center under 12/24] when the watch is running.. Like that of chronographs and pocket stop watches. So, hacking the a-11/17 did not move the second hand to top dead center, rather, it simply shut it down so one could time their watches. So, you would wait until the second hand was at tdc-under 12 to pull the crown freezing time with second hand at 12. Then set time. groups of pilots/navigators/special ops/ground forces A COMMANDER ISSUES A ZULU COMMAND TO PILOTS & NAVIGATORS **************************************************************** THE GLYCINE AIRMAN IN MY BOOK, THIS WATCH IS THE #2 ABSOLUTE BEST PILOT/MILITARY WATCH EVER MADE. THE HACKING MECHANISM IS A GLYCINE INVENTION. PULL CROWN AND A HACKING WIRE COMES THROUGH THE 12 TDC, STOPPING SECOND HAND AND WATCH AT THE 12/TDC. Glycine Launched The First Legendary “Airman Watch” In December Of ’53 By Applying For A 24 Hour Bezel Patent. The Patent Would Be Issued In May Of 1956 With Number [Swiss Pat] 314 050. The First Airman Had A White Dial, Red Numbered White Date Wheel With No Hacking Method. In 1953 The First Airman Am/Pm [On Dial] Model Was Issued With Pencil Hands And Patent Pending Marks On Case Back. It Did Not Have A Hack Mechanism, It Had The Red Date And No Magnifier.
24 HOUR MOVEMENT IS IDENTICAL WITH THOSE USED IN HELBROS REAL 24HR EXCEPTING THE ADDITION OF AUTOMATIC FEATURES In 1954-56 the second model with a tail end minute hand [the minute hand had an extension] and the date magnifier was released. *************************************************************************

As Any One Knows, I Love Restoring The Vietnam Era Zodiac Sea Wolf. The Above Time Piece Is A Total Restored Zodiac Aerospace Gmt 24 Hour. This Beauty Hacks And Has A 24Hr Hand. That Means It Keeps 12 Hour X 2 And 24Hr Time At The Same Time. The Bezel Is Divided Into True 24Hrs. The zodiac aerospace gmt came out after the 1968 Tet offensive in Vietnam. From 1969 through 1971, more operations were carried out in Vietnam than ever before.. Due to the fact we were drawing down. Beginning in 1969, the PX/BX and r&r destinations offered both the popular sea wolf and the zodiac aerospace gmt 24hr hacking dive watch. . With two time zones a soldier/officer would set the normal 12 hour per revolution time to their home/USA time and use the red 24 hour hand with military time for in country. The red gmt hour hand is a true 24 hour hand. It works in unison with the regular hour hand, but will count an entire 24 hours each single revolution .While the main hour hand makes two revolutions every 24 hrs.. When over-hauled, the hands are placed back of the dial after the date jumps all pointed to tdc. [tdc = dial #12 marker bezel 24 hr marker] The red gmt hour hand points to tdc , you then place the standard hour hand at tdc, the minute hand tdc and seconds tdc. The red gmt hand will turn a full 24 hours in one revolution. Pulling crown hacks [stops] watch. Date is set by changing 21-24hr. Back to 21 then past 24, repeat, repeat…. So:
The red illuminated tip gmt true 24 hour hand is for a second time zone and/or to keep track of your local time zone in military time When setting up a second zone, the simple turning of the 24 hour bezel to the correct position for the zone allows you to view it to see what time it is where you are and, say, California. This offers the ability to adjust the bezel to any other time zone, forward or backward =if your on east coast and also want west coast time turn bezel to three hours backwards. No guessing is required. The red hand will be 3 hours behind-so, the bezel and red gmt hand are for your second z0ne or to have both regular time and 24hr military time you can turn bezel and for elapsed timing for diving. The red hand cannot be turned or adjusted on its own. The illumination is 3 times the amount it was originally. Hands were illuminated, including the tip of seconds. The red true 24 hour hand in red color is original. Only the illumination was reapplied. I took liberty to make the silver sweeps seconds hand red to see better. Look, this time piece is a rare product. It has 12 hours hands and a 24 hour hand, a bezel with 24 hours that can be set to read a second gmt zone. Thus, this time piece does not rely on it’s vintage fact alone. LOOK FOR MORE COMING SOON |
