TOCKR
Tockr Watches and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) have teamed up to create a series of watches made
with rescued material from an historic C-47 known as That’s All, Brother, that lead the D-Day invasion.
Together with CAF, Tockr engaged esteemed watch designer Emmanuel Gueit to design a new limited-edition
watch that would incorporate the salvaged plane material as a focal point: the Tockr D-Day C-47.
Assembled in Switzerland in batches of 100, each numbered piece contains a unique portion of That’s All
Brother as the base for its dial, preserved under sapphire crystal.
The Tockr D-Day C-47 comes in three dial styles, each ranging from dark to light military hues of brown
and green, but differentiated by varying degrees of original weathering, chipping, and scratches and distinctive
markings. “Clean Cut,” offers the lightest degree of weathering, while “Stamped,” features medium weathering,
with some original type in yellow, brown or blue hues. A third “Hard Worn” variation is heavily weathered, crackled,
and chipped with large areas of exposed aluminum.
The watch’s 42mm cushion case houses a Swiss self-winding ETA-2824-A6 movement beneath an anti-glare
sapphire crystal. The D-Day C-47 watch comes with two straps, one made of drab canvas webbing and one made
of leather, each featuring a ‘quick change’ spring bar. On the back you’ll find an engraved re-creation of the original
nose art from ‘That’s All Brother’. The individually numbered watches come with a certificate of authenticity signed
by the CAF guaranteeing use of genuine material from That’s All, Brother.
