This 2834 model has since become highly sought after for those who are aware of them, as they are the vibrantly-colored
\nGMT watch that O&W offered. One of the later advertisements describes it: \u201cSpecially designed for SKIN DIVERS, PILOTS,
\nWORLD TRAVELERS, MILITARY. Hour hand revolves once in 24 hours. 24-hour revolving bezel shows AM or PM time in any 2 time-zones.\u201d
\nIn recent history there was a large release of the second generation Early Bird models from the factory in Switzerland, which is
\ntypically what you\u2019ll be looking at if you see one of these that appears to be in pristine condition. However, the model you\u2019re
\nviewing here is the real deal: the FIRST generation to be produced and earliest model that would have been offered to US troops
\noverseas. It can most easily be distinguished by the metallic finish on its bezel with triangular markers in place of odd numerals.
\n(The second generation style has a flat color painted bezel with straight, linear odd numeral marks.) 24 hour mechanics. 24 hour
\nGMT bezel. AM-PM designation. Broad arrow hand. The watch is in good condition and has a beauiful faded bezel which turned into an
\nalmost pinky color. The dial has beautiful patina. Comes on a high quality ostrich leather strap. We offer a 6 months guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
