The watches that were issued to pilots when I was in the A.F. were either Hamiltons or Elgins and were 17 jewell with luminus dials. They were called (Pilots hack watches). Being a scrounger I had one for years and it was a good watch. Even tho I was in much later then WW11 some of the watches had dates on the back of the watch as early as 1944. No telling how many million were made over the years.
