El reloj
El Bristol B-17 Flying Fortress Tribute GMT es un reloj GMT de 44 mm con esfera beige, impulsado por un movimiento suizo de cuarzo Caliber 515-24H. Entre sus características destacadas se incluyen material original de la estructura del avión al que rinde homenaje engastado en el fondo del reloj, una tirada de producción limitada a 1945 piezas y una segunda zona horaria para viajes. Pertenece a Hour VI, Field & Adventure, en nuestra temporada Expedition: una elección natural para viajeros frecuentes y fines de semana al aire libre.
El modelo BW17E es un homenaje al icónico Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. Este clásico diseño de aviador utiliza un preciso y fiable movimiento de cuarzo suizo con función GMT. La esfera Super-LumiNova está protegida por un cristal de zafiro resistente a los arañazos. El fondo del reloj muestra material original de la estructura de aeronave del Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress con n.º de serie 41-2595. Esta aeronave en particular es un raro B-17E, recibió los nombres de «Desert Rat» y «Tangerine» y entró en servicio el 14 de febrero de 1942. Actualmente se está sometiendo a una restauración exhaustiva y volverá a volar. El robusto B-17 voló para las Fuerzas Aéreas Aliadas en todos los teatros de operaciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y más allá. Es, sin duda, uno de los bombarderos pesados más icónicos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. De los 12.731 B-17 construidos, sobreviven 46 estructuras de aeronave completas, de las cuales menos de 10 aún vuelan. Este modelo está limitado a 1945 unidades en honor al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Conviene saber
It runs on a Swiss quartz chronograph caliber 515-24H. 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 B-17 Flying Fortress airframe, 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.

Bought this for my father's 70th birthday near the Air Force Museum. He loves the gold and beige B-17 Flying Fortress look and the airframe relic on the back. Changing the spring bars when we tested a spare bracelet took 15-20 minutes with stubborn pins.
Happy 70th birthday to your father, Dein! Dayton is the heart of aviation history, and we are honored he is wearing the B-17 Tribute there.
Gave this B-17 GMT to my dad for his retirement party. He volunteers at an air museum on weekends, so the 1945-piece limited edition numbering and real B-17 metal in the back blew him away. He wears it constantly.
Picked up the gold-finish B-17 Flying Fortress tribute for its WWII history and reliable Swiss Ronda 515-24H quartz GMT caliber. The 44mm 316L case wears comfortably on my wrist thanks to the curved lugs and supple stitched brown leather strap. The beige dial legibility under the sapphire crystal is great, and the authentic B-17 airframe fragment in the caseback is cleanly inset.
I keep the Swiss 515-24H GMT hand set to Zulu time and love how the beige dial and brown stitched leather capture 1940s bomber instrumentation. Knowing there is real B-17 Flying Fortress airframe metal set into the caseback of this 1945-piece run makes it special.
The beige dial and gold case have a warm 1940s flight jacket vibe in real sunlight. Very comfortable brown stitched leather strap. Crown setting action was a little stiff out of the box before working it a few times.
The factory brown leather strap with contrast stitching fits my wrist well and matches the vintage beige dial and gold 316L case. I also tried it on a canvas bomber strap. Date window is a little small without my reading glasses, but the GMT hand is easy to spot.
Thanks for sharing, Russell! A canvas bomber strap sounds like a great alternate setup for the B-17 Tribute.
Bought this B-17 Flying Fortress GMT for my dad's birthday because my grandfather served on B-17s in World War II. Seeing the warm gold case, vintage beige dial, and genuine B-17 airframe metal in the caseback really moved him.
