This just in!

The movement places it between 1960 and 1967, the simple logo (without "SPECIAL" places it at the early part of that range.

Great watch. How wide and long is it?

37mm wide (not including crown), 46mm lug to lug, 20mm strap. Very nicely proportioned!

Very nice watch. Is that a 'Compressor' case? The crowns look like compressor's (with the hatch pattern)...
How does the GMT hand works on this watch? Can you set it individual from the hour hand? Is this what the 2nd crown is used for, or is used to secure the bezel?

Thanks, the 24 hour hand is THE hour hand. No independant setting. The 2nd crown secures the non-ratcheted bezel. Nope, not a compressor case (had a Droz with that once!). The hatched crown was standard for the old Airman models!
