This modern timepiece features a carefully crafted stainless steel case and displays an original artifact from a KLM 747 airframe. The movement is a precision Swiss made chronograph with a Super Luminova dial protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This design is limited to 1986 units in honor of the year KLM 747 Tail # PH-BUW entered service. The 747 was the original "Jumbo Jet" and has been considered the "queen of the skies" since it first entering service with Pan American Airlines in 1970. Now fading from passenger service, this aircraft holds a special place in the hearts of the countless passengers and crew that have flown aboard this icon.

Many people walk around with watches that have no story or real history. These Bristol watches are nothing but authentic! I used to fly routinely in the KLM 747s when I lived overseas. Many good memories. To imagine I probably flew in the one that is attached to my arm is a special feeling.

Purchased this watch for a friend of mine who was recently hired by Atlas to fly the 747. He was blown away and has yet to take it off. The only time he does is when he's showing the 747 relic to the other crewmembers!
Looking forward to the P-40 edition!!

Beautiful watch! High-quality finish. The box and packaging were 1st class as well. Very unique feature having the real artifact from the airplane displayed. I would not hesitate to buy another model. These would also make an impressive gift for any watch or aviation fan.
