Seiko 5 Sports Field
The Seiko 5 name comes from the 1960s and from a list of five promises: automatic winding, a day and date display, water resistance, a recessed crown at four o'clock, and a durable case and bracelet. Seiko rebuilt the whole line as Seiko 5 Sports in 2019, and the field models are the plainest expression of it: Arabic numerals, an inner 24 hour track, and a case retailers list at 39.4mm with a 48mm lug to lug.
Inside is the caliber 4R36, an automatic that also hand winds and hacks, with the day and date at three and a power reserve listed at about 41 hours. The crystal is Hardlex, the hands and markers carry LumiBrite, and the rating is 100 metres of water resistance.
C-40A Clipper
The Navy's fact file describes the C-40A as a derivative of the Boeing 737-700C, bought to replace the aging C-9B Skytrain and flown on Navy Unique Fleet Essential Airlift missions: long range, high priority logistics lift for fleet activities. It is certified for three configurations, 121 passengers, eight cargo pallets, or three pallets with 70 passengers. The Clippers fly with the Navy Reserve's Fleet Logistics Support Wing.
