Product Description
This recreation is based closely on the original World War Two design from 1943 but has the advantage that it is now equipped with a high performance self winding 24 jewel mechanical movement. The watches at the time were made in a variety of slightly different styles by Elgin, Bulova and Waltham but were all based on an original US government specification laid down at the time. This watch is closest in appearance to the Elgin 539 which used a 15 or 16 jewel movement and were made for the USAAF between 1940 and 1945. The original watch was made from plated base metal (to save steel) but this modern recreation is solid stainless steel so it should stand the test of time better than the originals.

MWC watches
I purchased the 1940 to 1960 british automatic service replica and it is great it keeps excellent time and looks cool as hell. I cant wait to get this A-11 that i just ordered.. MWC (military watch company) has very high quality merchandise and make accurate though not perfect replicas. Pricey but worth every cent.
