1960's Gruen 24Hr AirFlight "Sandler & Young"
Rare 1960's Swiss Gruen Jump Hour AirFlight. Original silver dial. Such cool designed gold-colored hands. Center seconds. Unique feature of this watch is at Midnight the Inner rotating numerals all jump at the same time to 24-hour zone. Inner jump hour numerals switch from 1-12 hour to 13-24 at the noon and midnight time frame. 35mm chrome and steel case with a screw back. 17 jewel manual wind movement. Highly sought hard to find. Nice size for him or her. Great looking Swiss Gruen Airflight. Such a cool watch mainly used by Pilot’s in the late 50’s and 60’s.
However, this particular watch is personalized. Instead of numerals … there is letters that spell “Sandler Young” & “Breath of Love”. Sandler & Young were a musical duo from the 60’s to the 80’s. “Breath of Love” was one of their songs. We have no evidence that either of the singers owned this watch… but, definitely possible.
