The Bristol B-17 Tribute BW17E is a precision timepiece for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, inspired by the legendary Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. This watch combines a rugged aviator aesthetic with luxurious details, making it a distinctive accessory for those who appreciate history and craftsmanship.
Featuring a gold-finish stainless steel case and a warm beige dial, this watch delivers a vintage look. It is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement with a GMT function, offering accuracy and practicality for tracking multiple time zones. The dial is equipped with Super-Luminova for excellent legibility in low light, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
A truly unique feature, the case back of this limited edition model displays an authentic fragment from a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress airframe (SN#41-2595). This artifact connects the wearer directly to a pivotal era in flight, honoring the end of WWII and celebrating the legacy of the B-17E named “Desert Rat” and “Tangerine.”

How it works
What this watch’s key specs actually mean on the wrist.
Manual wind
Hand-wound mechanical movement
A pure mechanical movement you wind yourself — a few turns of the crown each morning become a small ritual. No rotor and no battery means a slimmer case and an unobstructed view of the movement through many casebacks.
50m / 5 ATM
Water resistance
Rated to 50m / 5 ATM — fine for a shower, a rainstorm or a quick dip in the shallow end, but not for real swimming laps or diving.
24-hour reserve
Power reserve
Fully wound, this movement stores about 24 hours of running time when it's off your wrist. Enough to comfortably carry it overnight without resetting the time. Power reserve is simply how long the mainspring keeps the watch going once you stop wearing it.
44mm
Case size
The case measures 44mm across (excluding the crown) — a modern, present size with real wrist presence, at its best on medium-to-larger wrists. Case size is the single biggest factor in how a watch actually wears, so it's worth picturing against your own wrist.
Gold
Case material
Gold is the traditional precious-metal choice — warm, weighty and unmistakably dressy. It doesn't tarnish, and it carries a heft on the wrist that reads as quality the moment you pick it up.
