I wonder what the story is on this Navitimer. It has the Wakmann style AOPA wings but if you look closely they don't appear to be centered on the dial exactly. Makes me wonder if this is another weird Navitimer/Cosmonaute version ro something that has been modified.

But the rest of it looks likr a correct dial, odd. Perhaps Kurt will educate us.

I have seen a few of them, and have reasons to believe that they are a rare variation, and IMO original, as all of the ones I have seen have had the smell of vintage all over them.
