This watch is a real piece of Aviation History Jardur Bezelmeter, a watch ahead of his time, it was designed for pilots and it was essentially a cockpit instrument for the wrist. Two features incorporated in the design give clear evidence of this intent. The bezel on the case is an independent chapter ring graduated in counter clockwise hours.

The Jardur Import Company was started by Samuel Klepper in New York City N.Y. in 1937.
After creating their signature Jardur model, The Bezelmeter, he begin selling their watches in United States Army and Navy Post Exchanges (PX). The Jardur private label was never commissioned for any military branch, however, many aviators and military personnel wound up possessing one of these Swiss made watches.
