Bristol F/A-18 Hornet Tribute Watch
The Bristol F/A-18 Hornet Tribute watch is a precision timepiece designed for aviation enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate military heritage and robust craftsmanship. This model, the BW18B, pays homage to the iconic U.S. Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet fighter and attack aircraft, blending historical significance with modern watchmaking.
Crafted with a durable 316L stainless steel case in a gunmetal finish, the watch features a striking gray dial with luminous hands and markers for superior legibility. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a reliable Swiss quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, including date and GMT functions. The black leather strap provides a comfortable and secure fit for everyday wear.
A truly unique feature for collectors is the inclusion of an original F/A-18 Hornet airframe artifact, visible through the case back. This detail, along with the F-18 silhouette on the crown, makes the BW18B a distinctive piece that directly connects to the aircraft it celebrates. This watch is limited to 1,978 units, commemorating the Hornet's first flight year.

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.
Stainless steel
Case material
Stainless steel is the all-rounder for good reason: tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to refinish if it ever picks up a scratch. 316L is the marine-grade alloy used across quality watchmaking — durable enough for daily life and smart enough to dress up.
