Hamilton Military watch Original U.S. Airforce “FAPD 5101

FAOD 5101

This is a U.S. Airforce “FAPD 5101” or “Type 1 Navigation” sibling of the British GB & GS by Hamilton. “Vietnam era” US issue timepieces.

Classic Watch contributed the photo and description. It has a correct plain crown, fixed bars and is in near mint+ condition. This particular watch has an original signed black dial, white painted Arabic numerals, sweep seconds, fitted with correct strap. Issued only in Sept. 1970.

The FAOD 5101 has a 684, 17 jewel Hamilton grade 684 movement with hack setting, antimagnetic with dust cover.

As I’ve show in the past, this is in the fair value range. As explained in an earlier post, it’s fully serviced (COA’d) which would cost you between $450-600 in the open market.
