On 20-21 May 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. Wristwatch with brown leather strap. The watch face is white with Roman Numerals from I to XII in a circle around its surface. Below each of these numerals are the multiples of 15. A black hour, minute and second hand tell the time.

This timepiece holds a significant historical connection as it was during this very year that Charles Lindbergh accomplished his groundbreaking solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, forever etching his name in history. The watch itself is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance. Adorned with a brown leather strap, it exudes timeless sophistication. The white watch face features Roman Numerals encircling its surface from I to XII, each accompanied by multiples of 15 below them.
