1960s Glycine Airman Automatic Watch 24-Hour Dial Date Swiss Wristwatch

Watch Overview

We are proud to present this vintage Glycine Airman Automatic wristwatch from the 1960s—a legendary model designed for aviators and world travelers. Famous for its true 24-hour dial and dual-crown setup, the Airman helped define the genre of GMT and pilot watches during the Jet Age.

This example is a self-winding watch powered by the original Glycine Watch Co. automatic movement featuring 17 jewels, a sweep second hand and a date display. This Swiss-made timepiece operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour with an approximate 40-hour power reserve.

It features an original matte black dial with luminous indices, bold 24-hour numerals, and a date window at 3 o’clock. The inner rotating bezel (adjusted by the lower crown) enables tracking of a second time zone.

The watch is cased in a 36mm round stainless-steel case with a bi-directional friction-lock bezel. It is fitted with a brown leather two-piece strap for a classic military-inspired look.

Fully inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, this timepiece presents well with signs of honest aging. Running and wearable.
