A-17 U.S 1950s Korean War Pattern Military Watch (Mechanical/Quartz Hybrid) with 100m Water Resistance
SKU Code: A-17/100QZ This recreation of the A-17 watch is based on the original design used by U.S. pilots during the Korean War (1950-1953). This updated version features a high-performance hybrid movement, glass crystal, screw caseback, and 100m (330ft) water resistance. The original A-17 was an improved and updated version of the A-11 used by the USAAF during World War II. Modern Hybrid Technology MWC hybrid watches combine the best of modern and traditional watchmaking technology. These watches incorporate features from both automatic and quartz models, resulting in a hybrid, ultra-low maintenance movement. The hybrid movement uses a battery to power the watch through coils and a quartz oscillator, but the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled. Essentially, the movement is mechanical except it’s powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal, eliminating the need for a spring. This watch is ideal for buyers who prefer the sweep second hand of automatic watches comb
