Pretty clever! Well known for its simple dress watches, Gruen was once the largest and most prosperous American watch company, and the Airflight is among its more unusual, complicated designs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis example is housed in a 34mm, 14K yellow gold-plated case with curved lugs; a signed crown; an acrylic crystal; and a smooth bezel. It features a domed, satin-silver dial with a rotating 12-24 hour disc beneath the 12 apertures; an outer black minute track; and a combination ring-dauphine handset. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDating to the 1950s and powered by the hand-wound Gruen Calibre 510, it comes paired to an Analog:Shift Sedona Brown Nubuck strap with a matching, gold-tone pin buckle.
