We have reissued the classic AN5740 Masteer Navigation Watch so that it can be used not only as a pocket watch but also as a wristwatch.
This navigation pocket watch was used by the U.S. Army and Navy during World War II. The model name is [AN5740]. The [A] stands for ARMY and [N] for Navy. We have made a watch that can be enjoyed as both a wristwatch and a pocket watch by attaching a special case to this pocket watch. (Design registration pending)
Even today, there are pocket watches that are wrapped in a black cover and made into a wristwatch. However, they are inevitably large and bulky. The strap cover hides the form of the pocket watch and spoils the shape and atmosphere of the original pocket watch. Welding the lugs on is a simple solution, but it is not a double pleasure for a pocket watch. This product can be enjoyed as a pocket watch or as a wristwatch. The dial is a simple and highly legible dial.
The AN5740 case is fitted with a small pocket watch that was actually used by the US Army and paid for by the nurses.
The watch uses a Swiss Ronda 12-hour quartz movement.
