There's no doubt about the credentials of the Supermarine Spitfire. It was a hero's fighter plane. The saviour of the skies. First entering service in 1938, its status as an elite attack aircraft was affirmed during the Battle of Britain, as enemy squadrons were driven from our skies at the mercy of fearless British pilots. Chief among the fighter aces was Group Captain Douglas Bader, and today you can honour both these legends with a powerful new gentlemen's timepiece: the limited-edition Spitfire 70th Anniversary Chronograph.

Inspired by the watches of World War 2 pilots like Douglas Bader, the Spitfire 70th Anniversary Chronograph boasts three individual chronograph dials – plus sleek hour and minute hands – and the handsome black face features an authentic Spitfire motif accented in 22-carat gold plating. Adding a luxurious touch to the crown, 22-carat gold-plating delivers a striking contrast to the brushed and polished stainless-steel strap and casing. On the reverse, expert engraving alludes to the Spitfire's 70th anniversary of service and showcases Douglas Bader's sought-after signature in the centre. What's more – each watch is individually engraved on the reverse with a unique issue number, so no two are alike!

This dramatic tribute to the Spitfire and one of its most skilled pilots is limited to just 4,999 editions worldwide. Order now!
