Based on further review the Flying Fortress has a waterproof case and the lugs are not beveled.  I believe this to be a new model that has not shown up in the database yet.

Throwing this ad out there.  Shows an engraved Navigator as a Cromwell.   Seen an ad with an expansion bracelet called a Navigator. There is a crystal called the Cromwell CMX324-2.   Thoughts?

Interesting ad for the Watertite Military "Commander" watch.   I previously posted as similar ad from the same newspaper but this ad in particular mentions it has raised markers (obivously gold applied) but also says available in "Same Style with Radium Dial".  Also list variants of the 1941 Goddess of Time
