CWC RAF Quartz Pilots Chronograph
More actions
The CWC RAF Quartz Pilots Chronograph is a commercial watch built to the look of an issued one, and the distinction matters here. The chronographs CWC actually supplied to the Royal Air Force were mechanical: hand-wound Valjoux 7733s delivered from 1973 to 1982 in the asymmetric case shared by the four makers who held British chronograph contracts, casebacks stamped 6BB for the Air Force, with the running seconds at 9 and a 30-minute counter at 3. (CWC Addict, CWC Addict) Item 37815 is CWC's retail interpretation, and it inverts that layout: a Swiss Ronda 5030 quartz drives a central start-stop seconds hand, a 30-minute counter at 9, a 12-hour counter at 6 and running seconds at 3. CWC rates it for splashes only rather than immersion. (CWC)
