	The Airman SST, like the planned Boeing 2707, was a major departure from previous designs. The tonneau-shaped case was a mixture of brushed and polished finishing and the use of color on the dial was striking. The crown controlling the rotating bezel was moved to 2 o'clock on the dial and the bezel was placed underneath the crystal In fact the orange color of the outer bezel is what gave the SST its nickname among collectors, 'the Pumpkin'. The crowns are either the normal cross-hatch style as seen on the Airman, or smooth with a screw type slot at the 2 o'clock position.

	Boeing won the lucrative contract to develop the first American supersonic commercial jet and began tests in the mid 1960s. Boeing planned for their plane, named the 2707 SST, to fly at Mach 2.7 (0.7 faster than Concorde) for a distance of up to 4200 miles with a capacity for 250 to 300 passengers. The 2707 was intended to have a 'swing wing' system which would allow the wings to change position from straight out during take-off and landing to a delta wing position as the speed increased.
