Another complex one that took a while to draw.

– From O&W about this model: “It was created specifically for military personnel - pilots and radio operators, for whom a 24 hour 'military time' dial would be invaluable. Most of the original Early Birds were ordered direct from Zurich via adverts in black and white newspapers like the Army Times. The new owners were pleasantly surprised when the watch arrived to see that it had a striking blue and red bezel. It is estimated that no more than five hundred Early Birds were made.”
