GLYCINE AIRMAN №1 steel satin Ref. 3944.11.LB77U retro white | 3944.19.LB99U black

Great excitement among AIRMAN fans: Glycine reintroduced the AIRMAN No.1 in its original dimensions as a 36-mm steel version and includes it in the collection as a genuine vintage watch. The flying legend was born back in 1953 inspired by Captain Chat Brown, who gave his ideas of a real pilot watch to Sam Glur, Glycine sales director, during a flight in the cockpit of a DC-4. The Airman concept was born: a compact automatic watch with rotating bezel, double 24- hour display and date.The watch became an instant hit in the market and gained cult status among US Air Force pilots in particular. Today the Airman is powerd by a Swiss automatic GL293 movement.
