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.
Checked the case machining and chronograph reset on arrival in Charlottesville. Zero hand drift, crisp pusher actuation on the Swiss 3540.D caliber, and a flat sapphire crystal with minimal glare. Sits squarely on my wrist.

Sharp black leather and steel
Wore this into my cardiology clinic with a charcoal suit and white shirt. The black dial and black leather band give the 44mm steel case a clean, professional look that works well in hospital meetings.

B-25 44mm Black Dial Sapphire
Took this hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The 50m water resistance and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal handled a sudden rainstorm and brush without issue, and the high-contrast black dial is easy to read. The black leather strap was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.

Great tribute to the B-25
My uncle flew B-25s in the Pacific theater, so I grabbed this black-dial chronograph the moment I saw the airframe relic in the caseback. The Swiss 3540.D pushers have a firm click and the sub-registers are super clear.

Authentic Warbird Chronograph
As a collector who appreciates military history, having verified B-25 Mitchell airframe aluminum inset into the caseback makes this 1945-piece limited edition stand out. On my wrist the 44mm 316L steel case wears big like a proper WWII observation watch, while the black leather strap keeps the weight manageable. The Swiss 3540.D chronograph sub-registers are crisply printed under the sapphire glass.

44mm B-25 Black Dial Caliber 3540.D
This black-dial B-25 Mitchell tribute has earned regular wrist time alongside my mechanical pilot watches. The 44mm 316L stainless steel case houses a Swiss Caliber 3540.D quartz chronograph that tracks 1/10th seconds cleanly and snaps back to twelve without play. Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the matte black dial and triple sub-registers offer true cockpit contrast, and the authentic B-25 airframe metal in the 1945-piece caseback seals the deal.
