The watch being from 1964 is likely from the Date King line. The Jet Clipper 'I' and the Date King 'U' both share the same model reference number (11284), according to our pricelists. I find ads for the Jet Clipper through 1963, then the Date King model shows up in 1964 ads.

New crystal, new hands and is runing well. But I'd like to get a thinner crown for it.
