The original was an improved version of the Type-16 and was issued from the 1950s onward. By this time, advances in aviation had led to the emergence of all-weather fighter planes capable of flying at night and in the rain, creating a need for a 24-hour display on pilot watch dials. The 13:00 to 24:00 hour indices are printed inside the hour indices (1 to 12). The original luminous indices have faded to an orange-brown with age and are also peeling in places. This meticulous reproduction adds to the watch's vintage feel. The Pilot Wing Watch was created in collaboration with Nakata Shoten, a military shop in Ueno's Okachimachi district. A pilot's armband was worn on the arm or chest of a uniform. Elite pilots of the time would remake these armbands into bracelets or bangles and give them as gifts to loved ones and family. It was also customary for pilots to wear them on their own bracelets or watch bands. Official name - Special Skills Group 3 Army Viator Badge The fine feathers are reproduced using pure silver 925.
