Very nice watch in a very good shape!
It looks like the very first version from 1958 which was not yet called Airflight but "Super-G". At that time they had the Gruen Geneve and the embossed logo on the dial, later the watches were marked Gruen Precision and the logo was printed. It is equipped with a caliber 422RSS movement (R for the shock proof system and SS for sweep second), the -108 should be the style number meaning 1108.
Other markings seem to be sevice marks, I guess February, 19th, 1966 was the first sevice date at a watch maker, but that could be the serial number as well.
