C8 FLYER QUARTZ
C8 FLYER QUARTZ – 44 & 38mm Case Sizes
The Supermarine Spitfire was, arguably,
the most iconic military plane of the 20th
Century and even today the unmistakable
growl of its Rolls-Royce Merlin engine
flying overhead evokes an emotional
response in men and women of all ages.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, when we wanted to
create a series of timepieces celebrating
Britain’s unparalleled aviation history we turned
to the Spitfire for inspiration. In the plane’s
cockpit we discovered the Smiths Mark IIA clock
which became the inspiration for the C8’s dial
language.
The incredible Farnborough Wind Tunnels, have
also been interpreted on the C8 Flyer Quartz’s
back-plate. These breath-taking examples
of industrial art/science that honed the
aerodynamics of countless British aircraft icons
including the Spitfire and Concorde, have
their magnificent mahogany blades and
perforated steel surrounds represented by a
laser-etched engraving.
One of watchmaking’s most reliable automatic
movements is encased by a precision engineered,
marine-grade stainless-steel case with oversized
crown, designed to make adjustment easier for
the aviators’ glove-bound hands.
Add in the beautifully crafted vintage leather
strap incorporating a hand-sewn whip stitch or,
if you intend wearing the C8 over a flying jacket,
our fine leather NATO strap, and it is clear
you will be wearing a watch of rare distinction
and uncompromising quality.
