Full Description

This British RAF Pilot Watch is modelled on the iconic 1940s Air Ministry 6B/159 timepieces.

Air Ministry 6B/159 Heritage

Issued to Royal Air Force pilots and navigators from 1940, the original Air Ministry 6B/159 specification provided vital timekeeping for dead reckoning navigation across occupied Europe. This reproduction captures the clean aesthetic of wartime Swiss contract watches, featuring a silver-cream dial, bold Arabic numerals, and the historic RAF motto Per Ardua Ad Astra.

Modern Quartz Movement & Hacking

Beneath the 37mm polished case sits a reliable dual quartz movement powered by battery. It features an integrated hacking function that stops the seconds hand when the crown is pulled, mirroring the time synchronisation required by bomber crews. Built for practicality, the case offers 3 ATM water resistance against rain and daily splashes.

Military Detailing & Presentation

The case back features stamped A.M. 6B/159 military markings, paired with an adjustable textured brown PU leather strap and steel pin buckle. Each watch arrives in a collector box finished in wartime Duck Egg Green—the underside camouflage shade of Battle of Britain Spitfires—complete with a pull-out tray and golden felt lining.

Add this classic 6B/159 pattern watch to your RAF uniform impression or everyday vintage kit.
