Having crossed the Atlantic by dead reckoning, Lindbergh sketched the watch he wished he'd had: a dial you could read a longitude off in seconds, with a bezel to set against a radio time signal. His own is in the Smithsonian.

The watches above are the closest references in the bezelga catalogue, not the pieces that were on the wrist — those are named in each entry. Nothing here implies that Charles Lindbergh endorsed anything, and no photographs of anyone are reproduced: every page on bezelga uses our own drawings of the watches.
