Watch Description

Engraved with my initials for my 21st birthday. Bought in September of 1966. Has solid back. Anti-magnetic, self winding, waterproof, 10kt RG plate, shock resistant, date code M4.  Original band broke. Crystal was replaced once. Case is solid. To open the crystal needs to be removed. I could not find a watch that matches this watch. If possible I would like to know the model.

That's a very nice looking watch; seems to match the Sea Clipper 'KW'

Hi Andersok,

Thanks for the info. Really appreciate the quick response. I was wondering if this watch will be added to the data base pictures on line. I searched “Sea Clipper” and found no pictures of the 1964 KW model. 
 

Thanks again

Larry

Hi Larry,

It looks like your watch will be the first example added to the database. I see we have a white case version, but no yellow case example...until now!

Hi Ken,

That sounds cool. Thanks. 
I used to wear it all the time but I use an Apple Watch now.  When I was in the Army in 1968 I had to have the crystal replaced  It got cracked in an M60 tank at Fort Carson, Colorado.  
Take care

Larry

I'm good with that Sea Clipper KW... Fantastic watch and a great story to go with it.

Hi Plainsmen,

Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. I would like to start collecting but I already collect too many things at the moment. I collect old cameras, 78 rpm records, etc. 

take care

Larry
