Other Details

 

NOTES:  This model takes a rather unusually sized and shaped crystal.  Note in particular the slightly rounded corners and the unusual length and width.  I found only one possibility for this crystal, and that was in G-S 1937, which listed the matching crystal as MX484, and specified that crystal as belonging to the Air King.  Therefore, I have given this watch that tentative ID.
