Created to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II: the multi-function Dan Henry 1945 WWII Pilot Chronograph with GMT bezel and sapphire crystal World War II was a period of swift technological development, as engineers and designers created mechanisms that multiplied our power for timing and calculation as never before. Wristwatches became more accurate, tough, and reliable. Timepieces increasingly found roles as powerful problem solvers in war or peace, transforming the wristwatch into the man's accessory. Pilot watches of World War II are the holy grail of watch collecting because of the intrinsic beauty of their precise engineering and essential tool in the most crucial period of the 20th Century. – DH
