INO AVIA (Aviator) Vintage Pilots watch.
$1,200
Very early aviator’s watch by Avia Switzerland. Date about 1924 or quite possibly earlier. Excellent working condition – please see photos and video. Genuine throughout.
Possibly the very first example of a rotatable bezel for recording elapsed (flight) time. This feature and the whole dial design was copied by several other makers noteably Longines, Zenith, and Omega since it proved so popular and useful. As far as I can research, this is the original design.
Watch is running strongly and keeps very good time – which is itself remarkable given this wristwatch is just under 100 years old. Video here:

Black dial with cathedral hands. Lume is all present but no longer luminous, naturally. Case is 35mm (39mm with crown) x 41 lug to lug (lugs are fixed type). Supplied with new one-piece strap and reproduction leather strap based on period examples.
A very interesting wristwatch for collectors of pilot’s and observer’s watches. Welcome to view by appointment. All contact by messages on this site please. Feel free to ask any questions not covered above. Can pack carefully and post at cost if required. Thanks for looking.
