500 Pieces Only This collaboration with Imperial War Museums honours the Spitfire N3200, which lay buried beneath the sands of Calais for over 45 years before its extraordinary recovery and restoration. The timepiece carries design details that originate directly from N3200, transforming a remarkable story of survival and resilience into a contemporary tool watch.
