This is the limited edition CH47 Chinook ALT1-Z. This watch was only made available to Royal Air Force Chinook crews and only 50 were produced. Of those 50, only 30 were stainless steel.
The dial features a Chinook helicopter in plan form with the bespoke 3-handed sub dials forming the dual rotors of the helicopter. The numeral '4' on the face has been augmented to read CH-47 and the skeletised rotor, which is visible through the glass case back, has 6 cut-outs in the shape of the Chinook's rotor blades. The case back in engraved with a military service number and the serial number (xx/50).
The watch comes complete with the original leather watch wallet, strap changing tool, unworn Nato strap, black leather strap, and Bremont pin buckle.
The Bremont ALT1-Z was designed with aviators and world travellers in mind. Z stands for ‘Zulu Time’ and allows the wearer to display local time together with the official world time standard: Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or even Zulu time (Z). UTC replaced GMT in 1972 as the international reference standard for communications, military, aviation, maritime and other activities that span multiple time zones.
