Looks like a Mil 3818A to me.

Not being fluent in Mil Spec watches, I'll vote with my eyes. If the case back says 3818A I'll say it too.

Thx Mark, it sure is the cleanest I've ever come across but since it's almost identicle in design as the A17A, I thought it may be the Navigtor's watch. The only difference I see is the A17A is stamped Watch Navig and the dial fonts a re a titch smaller. I was wondering if you might know.

rubber gasket goes beneath the crystal.
