Watch and case. The case is silver and shaped like the cross-section of a wing with a clear plastic cover that is hinged at the larger end of the case. A silver tag attached to the clear cover has an image of the Spirit of St. Louis engraved into it along with the text "New York Paris Spirit of St. Louis" The watch has a green circular face with an hour hand and a minute hand that are silver and glow in the dark. The second hand is red. The numbers on the face are white but do not include 2, 3 or 4. These numbers have been replaced by a rotating date and a semi-circular white arc with numbers .21, .32, .45 and .52. Above the number 6 is a white oval with an image of the Spirit of St. Louis and the text "New York Paris Spirit of St. Louis". A crown is located at the 3 o'clock position. The band is black and green fabric and is secured by Velcro.
