Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Automatic H776660

I wonder what my father - who was a navigator in RAF Transport Command from 1941-1946 - would have made of this one, which I'm expecting in the post tomorrow. It's a sweet piece of engineering and, though I'll never be piloting a plane, I will certainly be enjoying the mechanics of this watch. The main hands setting and chrono buttons are on the left, and the two buttons on the right operate the upper and lower interior bezels which can be used to calculate cross wind drift (hence the name of the watch: "X-Wind"). Valjoux 7750 chrono movement.

    • On the link that I posted, ne of the watches has no crown and another has an a crown that is not square to the case. Does a broken crown signify that the movement may be quite corroded, hence the stem has broken,  and does the bent crown simply signify that the stem is bent? Unfortunately as the seller has a bid on the items, he is now reticent to prise the casebacks off in case he damages something. The seller did reply with this email though. Hi again Michael - brief descriptions; Oris x 2, dials and hands ok and they set ok and one I just wound and it has been running for a few of minutes as I write this response. Rocar, dial ok no crown. No name dial no good and can't pull crown out to set. Roma dial and hands ok, I think it is pin pallet movement. Unicorn, good dial and hands and plexiglass ok for age. All cases and plexiglasses show wear except as mentioned. I have no idea what movements are fitted or condition so please if you do consider bidding, please do so accordingly as I don't like to disappoint my customers - regards and thanks again for your interest - Jim
    • The incomplete Vertex DD is a new project to sort out.  The Seiko gen 1, is my favourite watch to wear and is my daily.      
    • To be fair it was a beautiful 'bumper'.  But, there was some loose parts in the case.  Perhaps 'pig' was a bit excessive 😄.
