C8 P7350 CHRONOMETER
LIMITED EDITION
In partnership with TMB Art Metal we are
proud to present a limited edition watch
that contains a piece of original Duralumin
from the only remaining airworthy Spitfire to
have flown in the battle of Britain – P7350.
The design of the 44mm watch is based on
the Smith Mk IIa clock that was used in the
Supermarine Spitfire’s cockpit, including a
careful matching of the original index fonts and
colours and the black, anti-reflective case. The
SuperLuminova SLN C5 and T-C1 paints used emit
blue and green emissions respectively.
The reverse of the watch reveals a piece of
metal from P7350’s cockpit protected by highly
scratch-resistant, museum grade sapphire crystal.
A silhouette of the plane's plan has been precision
cut into the metal showing the registration
and elliptical wing formation to great effect.
Such an important watch demanded an
important movement. Therefore, powering the
C8 P7350 is a small-second, hand-wound version
of Christopher Ward’s ground-breaking in-house
movement, Calibre SH21. As well as providing
120 hours of power via SH21’s twin barrels, each
movement is a certified chronometer through
COSC, further testifying to its quality
and accuracy.
The P7350 Chronometer is made available in a
small manufacturing run of only 75 pieces adding
immeasurably to its significance and desirability.
