The 1972 Maverick is the ultimate pilot watch with a 12-hour chronograph or a GMT bezel, sapphire crystal, and screw-in crown. In 1972, the oceans and space had already been conquered and were no longer novelties. It was a time for breaking records on Earth.  Cars and motorcycles were getting faster, and supersonic flights were more accessible; the Concorde generation was born. In the 1970s, watches became super-watches, with intense emphasis on their engineering. It was a time when engineers became designers, as they created watches born for measurement with craftsmanship and precision. – DH
