Bristol P-51 Mustang Tribute GMT — Polished Steel, Beige Dial
The watch
Bristol P-51 Mustang Tribute GMT: a beige-dial GMT watch in a 44mm 316L stainless steel case, driven 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. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour VI — Field & Adventure, part of the Expedition season — and suits frequent flyers and outdoor weekends.
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.

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.
From the journal
Owners say
As an airline pilot, I love the vintage beige dial and swapped in a riveted pilot leather strap to alternate with the factory brown band. Date window is a little small without my reading glasses, but the GMT hand is clear.
Took this up to Lake Huron for a long weekend of sailing and hiking. The 50m water resistance and sapphire crystal handled spray and trail dust without a mark, and the high-contrast numerals on the beige dial are super readable in bright sun.
Sharp vintage beige dial and P-51 relic. Lume lasts a few hours after dark.
Thanks for your support, Matthew! Enjoy wearing the P-51 Mustang GMT.
Solid 44mm 316L polished steel case with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and legible beige dial. Keeps accurate time on my wrist. The shipping carrier delayed the box by two days, though the watch itself is great.
Apologies for the carrier delay to Portland, Nate! Glad the P-51 Mustang GMT arrived safely and is performing well.
Gave this beige-dial P-51 Mustang tribute to my older brother for his 65th birthday. He is a lifelong WWII history buff, and seeing the authentic P-51 airframe metal in the 1945-piece caseback blew him away.
Happy 65th birthday to your brother, Carl! We are thrilled the P-51 Mustang relic made his day.
Checked the 44mm polished 316L case tolerances and hand alignment on arrival. The Swiss quartz GMT hand tracks mainland time accurately from Hawaii, the sapphire crystal is clear, and the P-51 airframe inlay is flush.
The factory brown leather strap looks sharp with the beige dial, and I also swapped in a tan canvas strap for Houston summer heat. Note that the crown stem detents are tight at first and take a firm push to catch when setting the GMT hand.
Appreciate the feedback, Eugene! Tan canvas is a great summer match for that beige P-51 dial.
Wore this polished steel P-51 Mustang GMT to three property closings this week. The cream-beige dial and brown leather strap pair naturally with linen blazers and dress shirts on my wrist.
