Flying Scotsman 80th Anniversary Mens Chronograph Watch
80 years after its inaugural non-stop journey between London and Edinburgh, the legendary "Flying Scotsman" is still renowned for being the fastest steam train of its day – able to cover the 392 ¾ mile distance in a mere 8 1/4 hours. Now, as a tribute to its awesome speed, power and sophistication, The Bradford Exchange is commemorating the 80th anniversary of its first non-stop run, with a unique and exclusive new men's chronograph watch, offering you the chance to acquire a valuable piece of locomotive history.
Meticulously appointed for a look of ultimate style, the "Flying Scotsman" Locomotive No. 4472 Chronograph perfectly captures the refined elegance and supreme reliability of the steam-driven powerhouse that inspired it. Every facet bears the mark of precision craftsmanship, from the bold black face – featuring three individual dials, gold lettering and contrasting stainless steel hands – to the prestigous 22-carat gold trim on the expertly crafted strap. Landmark commemorative features on the watch face include: the unmistakeable "Flying Scotsman" name plate; railway-like hour and minute markers; a graphic interpretation of the halfway sign between London and Edinburgh in 1928; and the time and length of the famed rail route. Take an even closer look and you'll notice exquisite hand-engraved detail on the stainless steel casing and strap, hailing the "Flying Scotsman's" noble heritage.
And beneath all these handsome aesthetics lies a genuine Seiko movement – leaving no doubt that this outstanding timepiece will attract attention from train enthusiasts and collectors alike.
