A\u0026amp;F most notably became the outfitter for a virtual ‘who’s who’ of adventurers and iconic individuals: Theodore Roosevelt outfitted multiple expeditions to Africa at A\u0026amp;F, as did Robert Peary ahead of his trek to the North Pole, and Clark Gable amidst his golf forays around the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBut when it comes to A\u0026amp;F wristwatches, there’s much more to dive into than the widely adored Seafarer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis piece, an Abercrombie \u0026amp; Fitch Midshipman, dates back to the late 1950s\/early 1960s and features a 33mm stainless steel case with a domed acrylic crystal, an unsigned crown, and a lovely silver dial.
