Airmen-Honoring Timepieces

The Timex x Nigel Cabourn Survival Watch Has a WWII-Inspired Design

The Timex x Nigel Cabourn Survival Watch is a timepiece that highlights a stylish design which pays homage the British airmen who fought in World War II in a subtle yet honorable manner. The watch has a yellow dial that calls to mind the yellow flight suits and life preservers that were worn by the pilots in order to make them more visible in the water if they went down. This helps to make the watch an admirable collaboration accessory that will help to enhance a person's wardrobe, while also paying respect to those who fought against the Axis powers.

The Timex x Nigel Cabourn Survival Watch has a 36mm Mk1 case as its housing, and is supported by a quartz movement, broad arrow symbol at 12 on the face to indicate British crown property and more.
