The Christopher Ward C9 P2725 TM-B is a beautiful limited edition watch that recognizes the accomplishments and history of the Royal Air Force as it enters into its centenary year in 2018. With only 100 pieces created, the Christopher Ward C9 P2725 TM-B includes a history-defining section of metal that is uniquely secured within the sandblasted case. The intricate dial design provides a historic nod to the dashboard instrument panel of the iconic Hawker Hurricane World War II fighter plane.
The masculine touches of a modern timepiece meet the bold aesthetics that were prominent in RAF fighter planes. Even the matte finish of the case was inspired by the Hawker Hurricane’s panel that was covertly designed to avoid reflections during flight operations. This inspired design provides a unique contrast within the watch’s inner 12 hour ring that is both visually stunning and historically accurate.
Aluminum wreckage from the Rolls Royce Merlin fighter plane engines has been cut, engraved, and lacquer-filled with a map of London to complete the watch’s commemoration of the actions taken by RAF Flight Lieutenant Ray Holmes on Battle of Britain Day, 1940. From the canvas strap to the museum-grade sapphire, the Christopher Ward C9 P2725 TM-B is as rugged as it is stunning, as beautiful as it is historical. This is truly a watch that not only stands the tests of time, but honors them with every ticking second.
