In the late eighties, both the USAF and Canadian Armed Force had issued these tough looking Adanac watches to their service members. The one pictured in this review was issued by USAF in 1988. It's an interesting watch because it has "Adanac" written on the dial but the case is signed "Gallet". Not only that, the watch was actually produced under government contract by Marathon Watch Co. based in Ontario, Canada.
The styling of the watch is very similar, if not identical, to USAF issue Marathon Military Pilot's Watch. Adanac is the predecessor to that model, albeit without the tritium vials. A careful reader might have noticed that "Adanac" is Canada spelled backwards.
