1943 Lord Elgin driver. The reason they were called drivers was that the swing lugs allowed you to position the watch on the side of your wrist while driving so you didn't have to take your hand off the wheel to check the time. Admittedly, you can now just ask your phone what time it is, but the watch is still a pretty cool idea I think.
