In 1943 I was issued a GI Hack watch. It was made by Elgin. I was a bombardier navigator on a B-26 Martin Mrauder. I still have the watch but it is no longer very accurate. In fact it was never very accurate but it was good enough since we flew relartively short missions. 6 hours at the most. Bombardier | ||

Is it a pocket watch? | ||

Nope. It is a hack wrist watch made by Elgin in 1843. Bombardier | ||

If it's an A-11, small size, unfortunately, they're not that valuable. | ||
