Dive into history.
The Col&MacArthur Spitfire 1940 watch commemorates one of the most decisive air battles of the Second World War. With its Spitfire-inspired design, it pays tribute to the heroes of the Royal Air Force and their historic victory.
The dial's flat-panel architecture is inspired by a speedometer from the Spitfire cockpit. A nod to British aeronautical engineering, where every detail served performance.
The target rotates clockwise, indicating the exact time, much like the hour hand of a conventional watch.
The mobile "marker " , integrated into the watch,
rotates clockwise to indicate the minutes. This block moves along an internal counter graduated from 0 to 60, representing the minutes of an hour. When it reaches the position corresponding to the number 60, it means that the hour is full.
A design inspired by the heritage of the Spitfire.
The aesthetic of the Spitfire 1940 watch is directly inspired by the cockpit of the legendary Spitfire, an iconic aircraft of the Battle of Britain. Every detail of the meticulously crafted dial echoes the air speed sensor that equipped the aircraft. Its design, faithful to the colors and structure of the original instrument, conveys the elegance and robustness of this warplane, while incorporating elements that recall the contribution of the women of the Women Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). The WAAF block, which surrounds the inner dial, testifies to the crucial role played by these women in this historic battle. It is a perfect balance between heritage and modernity, where each component evokes the deep connection between technology and history.
“Never in the history of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few.”
— Winston Churchill, August 20, 1940
