The Normandie Liner was put in use in 1935 and was by far the fastest boat at its time until it was handed to the US Military and renamed USS Lafayette in 1942. The name was so famous that the Normandie Watch company was founded in France, later appearing in New York under the same name. This particular watch is certainly not hiding its marine provenance, exhibiting a superb anchor with its name. The case is exceptionally well preserved (except for the calendar flange protectors missing), dial is as fresh as it can be for a ~65 years old watch.
