WW2 Japanese Military Qualification Watch Fob for Identification

[ErwinRommel1940]

Hello all,

I have searched the expanses of the internet and have found several similar to this one, but can not find this exact example. Does anyone know what this one is for or perhaps someone can translate enough to figure it out...?

Thanks for the help in advance!

As near as I can figure it out:

Front:
航技
Flight Technician

Rear:
Horizontal reading from right to left:
