Watch Description
I really like the looks of this one. 8 sided case, quick set day/date and a whale on the dial. ID'ed per 1973 Linebook. There is one other example in the database currently ID'ed as 1972 President based on a single Dec.1972 ad that shows it on a different band. Both that example and this one are on the band matching the Linebook. According to the single ad, this was a "New Model" at Christmas. If one of these watches was on the band in the ad, I would classify it as President. I wonder if it was quickly re-named as Jet Clipper on a new band in response to the perceived negative association with the Watergate scandal?
