Our Model BW17D is a tribute to the iconic Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.  This classic aviator design uses a precise and reliable Swiss quartz movement with a GMT function.  The Super Luminova dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.  The case back displays original airframe material from Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress SN#41-2595.  This particular aircraft is a rare B-17E, was named "Desert Rat" and "Tangerine", and entered service February 14, 1942.  It is currently undergoing an extensive restoration and will once again return to the air.  The rugged B-17 flew for the Allied Air Forces in every theater of WWII and beyond.  It is certainly one of the most iconic heavy bombers of WWII.  Of the 12,731 B-17's built 46 complete airframes survive with fewer than 10 still flying. This model is limited to 1945 units in honor of the end of WWII.
