Dial Are you ready for this? I couldn't believe it when I located this in Israel. An original porcelain dial with attractive numerals and signed in Arabic script is "Al-Qawa'al-Jawwiya'l-Iraqia", or "Iraqi Air Force" in beautiful Arabic script. Attractive black hands, two craze lines from 12 o'clock to 4/5 o'clock but no chips or dings to the porcelain.
Case Pure nickel clam shell case with good solid hinges. Crown is unsigned but looks correct for period and probably original. Decently sized at 33mm with pivoting brass oval lugs.
Movement Signed Cal 13.34 Longines movement, serial 4997070, runs strong and keeps good time.
Age c1930s
Band Fitted with a period correct but new pigskin military style strap, correct down to the sterling buckle.
Other Own a unique military vintage timepiece and such a early airforce watch is both historically and horologically significant. Imagine the pilots in bi-planes wearing this watch. Most surely a "one-of-a-kind" item left from a bygone era.
