What movement powers the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph?
It runs on a Swiss quartz chronograph caliber 3540.D. Quartz keeps it accurate and low-maintenance; the battery simply needs replacing every few years.
Can I swim with the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph?
Only splashes. It is rated to 50m (5 ATM), which handles rain and hand-washing, but it is not intended for swimming or submersion.
Will the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph fit my wrist?
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.
What is set into the caseback of the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph?
The caseback holds a genuine piece of B-25 Mitchell, visible through the back of the case — a direct link to the aircraft the watch honours.
Is the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph a limited edition?
Yes. Production is limited to 1945 pieces, so once the run sells out it will not be repeated.
Who is the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph for?
On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour V — Chronograph, part of the Expedition season, and suits driving days, flights and timing anything that matters. It also appears in our Pilot & Aviation edit.
Is the Bristol B-25 Mitchell Tribute Chronograph authentic, and what warranty is included?
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.
Was not sure what to expect ordering from a boutique aviation brand, but the gold 316L steel finishing, stitched brown leather band, and sapphire crystal are top quality. Daylight legibility on the beige dial is great, though the lume is decent for a few hours rather than an all-night torch.

44mm B-25 Gold Beige Chronograph
As a fire captain and warbird fan, the B-25 Mitchell has a special place in history. The Swiss 3540.D stopwatch sub-registers are easy to read and the airframe relic in the back is awesome. The 44mm watch has some real heft to it that took a couple days to get used to.

Doolittle era bomber tribute
Love the 1940s cockpit aesthetic of the beige sub-registers and gold case, plus the genuine B-25 Mitchell airframe metal set into the 1945-piece limited caseback. Chronograph pushers feel crisp. Note that the crown stem detents are tight at first and take a firm push to catch.

Solid Swiss 3540.D Chrono
Checked the subdial hand alignment and pusher clicks on the Swiss Caliber 3540.D movement right out of the box. Everything zeros cleanly on the beige dial and the 44mm case sits well on my wrist. There is a slight audible quartz stepper tick in a dead-quiet room.

Real aviation history on wrist
I was hesitant to drop 479 dollars on a gold-finish aviation watch online, worried the plating might look brassy. In person, the polished gold 316L steel, sapphire crystal, and authentic B-25 Mitchell airframe piece in the back look first-rate.

Clear sapphire and sturdy build
Wore this on a weekend cabin trip up the Columbia River Gorge. The 50m water resistance handled rain and camp chores fine, the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal shrugged off a brush against a granite boulder, and the beige dial is super legible outdoors.

Sharp Vintage Look
The gold-finish case and warm beige dial look even better in natural light than on the product page. Very comfortable on my wrist for office days and weekend dinners out.
