Wayne,

Not a 'SEA KING' in this style Case also the 11ANACD has Date display.

'CLIPPER' possibly?

The seller didn't have the tool to open the watch, therefore I just put the 11ANACD to fill the space. I commend you for being so obserevant. The dial has the Sea King hour markers. I had never seen that case before & thought it was kewl!  I will know more when I receive the watch.

Do you have a picture or ad for the possible Clipper?

This watch is designated a Sea King. Fellow whale watchers, research has offered no other possibility for the name of this watch, but Sea King. I invite any information to the contrary.

Not a Clipper, Wayne was right all along. 1970 ad.

The SEA KING.

The case of the posted model is different than the 'F' in the ad. The case is the same as that of the Sea King 'GT' in the partial ad collection.

The linebook mentions a "Locking ring". I would assume that is what the ABC catalog calls the "Back Rim" which turns to lock the caseback. However this watch is a monocoque case (case # T-3126) that opens through the front. Is there another meaning for "Locking ring"?
