Our Model BW17F is a tribute to the iconic Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. This classic aviator design uses a precise and reliable Swiss quartz movement with a GMT function. The Super Luminova dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The case back displays original airframe material from Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress SN#41-2595. This particular aircraft is a rare B-17E, was named "Desert Rat" and "Tangerine", and entered service February 14, 1942. It is currently undergoing an extensive restoration and will once again return to the air. The rugged B-17 flew for the Allied Air Forces in every theater of WWII and beyond. It is certainly one of the most iconic heavy bombers of WWII. Of the 12,731 B-17's built 46 complete airframes survive with fewer than 10 still flying. This model is limited to 1945 units in honor of the end of WWII.

The B17 plane has been close to my heart since the movie Memphis Belle, so this watch is the obvious choice. The watch is just a pleasure and fits perfectly on the hand, it's a pity that it is not indicated from which part of the plane the material is inserted.

Beautiful watch, that comes in a lovely, highly polished storage box. Fast shipping, and well packaged. We were impressed with the watch and the service we received from this company. Highly recommended. Bought this watch as a gift for my son who loves B17's and he was thrilled with it.
