Easy to swap straps on
The factory brown leather band looks classic against the brushed 44mm steel lugs, and I also swapped on an olive NATO strap for humid afternoons. The black dial works with both.

The watch
The Bristol P-51 Mustang Tribute GMT is a 44mm GMT watch with a black dial, powered by a Swiss quartz movement. Expect original airframe material from the aircraft it honours set into the caseback, a production run limited to 1945 pieces and a second time zone for travel. We place it at Hour VI (Field & Adventure) of the Expedition season, for travel, the outdoors and long days on the move.
The North American P-51 Mustang is perhaps the most consequential Allied fighter plane of World War II. The Mustang was the first fighter able to escort the previously unprotected Allied bombers to Berlin and back. This tribute to the P-51 is a classic aviator design using a precision Swiss made quartz movement with GMT and date functions. The Super-LumiNova dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This design is limited to 1945 units in honor of the end of WWII, with the case back displaying original airframe material from a P-51D Mustang.
Trademarks, trade names, aircraft models and company names are used for descriptive purposes only, to identify and describe the actual aircraft artifact incorporated into the watch.
Good to know
It runs on a Swiss quartz movement, GMT and Date Functions. Quartz keeps it accurate and low-maintenance; the battery simply needs replacing every few years.
Only splashes. It is rated to 50m (5 ATM), which handles rain and hand-washing, but it is not intended for swimming or submersion.
The case measures 44mm — a bold size that suits larger wrists (roughly 17.5 cm / 6.9 in and up). Our watch size guide (/pages/watch-size-guide) explains how to measure your wrist.
The caseback holds a genuine piece of P-51D Mustang, visible through the back of the case — a direct link to the aircraft the watch honours.
Yes. Production is limited to 1945 pieces, so once the run sells out it will not be repeated.
On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour VI — Field & Adventure, part of the Expedition season, and suits travel, the outdoors and long days on the move. It also appears in our Pilot & Aviation edit. Its second time zone makes it part of our GMT & Travel edit.
Yes. It ships brand-new and boxed from the brand's verified channel, with a 2-year warranty. Unworn watches can be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Tracking East Coast and European freight times out of Baltimore is easy with the Swiss quartz GMT hand on this Mustang tribute. The 44mm brushed case feels tough on my 7.5-inch wrist, and the genuine P-51 airframe insert is a great piece of history.
Thanks for the review, Jesse! Glad the P-51 Mustang GMT is keeping your Baltimore and European schedules right on time.
Love the contrast of the brushed 316L steel case, black cockpit dial, and warm brown leather strap. The 24-hour GMT hand is easy to spot at a glance, and having authentic P-51 Mustang airframe metal set into the 1945-piece limited caseback makes it a keeper.
Took this P-51 GMT up to northern Michigan for a week of cabin camping and fishing. The 50m water resistance and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal handled rain and boat spray easily, and the luminous hands on the black dial are clear at dusk.
Been wearing this to the pharmacy and out on weekends for three weeks now. The matte black dial against the brown leather band is easy to read and feels broken in already.
The brushed steel case and brown leather strap look even better in natural Washington daylight than on the website. Super comfortable on my wrist for studio work and weekend dinners.
As retired USAF now working in defense consulting, I wear this brushed steel P-51 Mustang GMT with button-downs and sport coats. The 44mm case sits comfortably on my wrist, and clients always ask about the P-51 airframe piece in the back.
