This model is a replica of the TYPE A-17 adopted by the US Army Air Corps during World War II with a sterling silver wing band.

During and after the war, pilots used their own wing badges (chest badges) and modified them into bracelets, watch bands, etc. Many men's and women's bracelets made using one wing badge have been on the market, but the watchband we are producing as a replica using two wing badges is a popular item among collectors.

This model is based on the specifications of the 1950s, and the wing body is made of 925 pure silver, and the chain and clasp are made of brass with silver plating. It is also attractive that you can enjoy aging to an oxidized color due to sulfurization.
Silver combines with sulfur (hydrogen sulfide) contained in the air and turns into a substance called silver sulfide, which gradually becomes yellowish at first, then gradually ages to brownish-brown and black. If you like silver that shines platinum, you can enjoy aging slowly as it is, and when it starts to turn dark, you can restore it to silver with silver polish or other familiar items. On the other hand, if you want to create a vintage look, you can also use a cotton swab moistened with bleach or sulfur to create a vintage look.

The watch itself is an improved version of TYPE-16, a model that has been issued since the 1950s.

With the development of aircraft, all-weather fighter planes appeared that could take off at night or in the rain, and from around this time it became necessary for pilot's watches to have a 24-hour display on their dials. The hours from 13:00 to 24:00 are printed inside the indexes (hours) from 1 to 12. The phosphorescent indexes from that time have deteriorated over time, so we have faithfully reproduced the discoloration to an orange-brown color and the appearance of peeling.
The belt comes with a sterling silver wing bracelet and a separate cotton belt.
