The HURRICANE - RAF's forgotten fighter star of the Battle of Britain, the plane never known to fail. To commemorate the HURRICANE and the brave pilots who fought and fell with them we are proud to introduce our new pilots watch, the aptly named HURRICANE on this the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Britain.Based on our AIRFORCE I model the limited edition HURRICANE by CX Swiss Military Watch is equipped with the chronometer certified ETA cal. 7750 COSC and sets a new standard in its class: the stainless steel case, highly scratch resistant due to the DLC (diamond-like) black coating houses a bezel designed as a fully functional circular slide rule and is anti-magnetic as per ISO 764. The bezel allows for all relevant aeronautical calculations. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects a rugged dial evoking the artificial horizon in a cockpit. The small second hand is constructed in the shape of a propeller, relentlessly churning away against the tide of time.The nanotech Swiss Made leather strap is a new development, nearly impermeable and thus exceptionally long-lasting. The solid stainless steel buckle also in DLC - bears the CX SWISS MILITARY WATCH logo and is as indestructible as the watch itself. The oversized pilots crown and the pushers are screw-down and the HURRICANE is water resistant to 200 meters. The red color of the pushers disappears once they are screwed-in and the watch thus fully water resistant. The HURRICANE is available in RAF and is sold in a luxurious wooden gift box.

A solidly built single engine aircraft equipped with eight Browning 303 machine guns the HURRICANE proved a formidable foe despite being slower than the German Messerschmitt. Generally the RAFs Spitfire would intercept the German fighters, leaving HURRICANES to concentrate on the bombers, but despite the undoubted abilities of the "thoroughbred" Spitfire, it was the HURRICANE that scored the highest number of RAF victories during this period.
