A Wonderful Example of probably one of the most rare and sought after Christopher Ward Mechanical Watches. Number 12 of only 100 Made, The C9 P2725 Tm-B- 43mm Case. This watch features a piece of aluminium from the Hurricane fighter plane that defended a raid on Buckingham Palace during the Battle of Britian Day, which took place September 15, 1940. Stainless Steel Case, with the case back showing a metal disc positioned behind museum-grade sapphire glass. The disc is the recovered piece of metal from the P2725 TM- B, and it has been treated, hand-brushed, and laser engraved with a map of central London with the location of the crash marked in red. The foundation of the dial of the P2725 is inspired by the Hurricane’s dashboard instrumentation panel, with the “B-dial” configuration of the hours and minutes. Above the six position is an arc for the power reserve. The dial balances a familiar colour palette of black, gunmetal grey, red, and “old radium.” The handset features two fully lumed syringe hands; a red syringe for the power reserve indicator; and a black, red-tipped needle for the active seconds. The Watch comes on its canvass military strap with a spare brown leather strap. Full Box and Papers and practically unworn condition.
