Serial Number 010240, Sept. 1967 DTU2A/P Benrus. Issued in 1968 and which flew in the back seat of an F4 Phantom through at least 1970.
I wear this often and proudly to commemorate my extreme respect for the people who carried these in Viet-Nam and especially for the individual who gifted this one to me after he came back.

I just found it this past weekend, sold as "not working". Put a battery in, and like magic it is working.
I think this is a 4-5 year old model, their 26B35 with alarm function. Stainless Steel case and bracelet, sapphire crystal. Timing spot on since Saturday. Not a scratch on it.
I like black dials, and this one has a 3-dimensional pattern that catches the light in a subtle way.
This is my first Accutron.
