As promised, I asked my Dad to indulge me on a brief history of the watch he gave me and it did evoke many a nostalgic memories for him. This particular watch was issued sometime in 1975 or thereabouts. Like I mentioned on my previous post the watches were mainly issued to pilots, senior officers and senior NCOs. Kenya Air Force DID NOT put stamps on the watches. This is not to say that the watches with KAF stamps aren't authentic, just that the Air Force weren't the ones etching the stamps on them. Many of these watch recipients etched them on their own for identification purposes. He did mention that after the attempted coup of 1982, the Air Force did issue a different model of the Autavias. I hope this information will be of help to Jeff and Shaun.
