Honouring the Armed Forces Air Men and Women, the open case back of the Avro Arrow features the phrase "Per Ardua Ad Astra" - Through Adversity to the Stars.
It is the official motto of the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces including the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The Avro Arrow represents the greatness of Canadian innovation and ingenuity. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, the need to push the limits of NATO’s aeronautic capabilities was essential to protect the west. The Avro Arrow was developed to be the most sophisticated interceptor aircraft of its time, with speeds exceeding Mach 2 at altitudes of 50,000 feet. Although its conceptualization was never fully realized, the Avro Arrow symbolizes Canada’s commitment to protecting the free world. Exclusively through WWCo., you can celebrate Canada's contribution to aerospace exploration with the AVRO Arrow Limited Edition pilot watch.
Celebrating Canadian Innovation
The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow (the Arrow) was one of the most advanced aircraft of its era, helping to establish Canada as a world leader in scientific research and development.
On its first flight, 25 March 1958, the Arrow broke four different speed records. Over the next year, the five “Mark 1” Arrows would fly a total of 66 times. The more powerful “Mark 2” Arrows that were in development never flew. Despite the plane’s enthusiastic reception, both the Arrow and Avro would soon meet their end in complicated political battles and backroom deals..
Embossed with the roundel of the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 12 o'clock position, and the RCAF emblem etched in the case back, the WWCo. AVRO ARROW MACH II makes a statement that is distinctly Canadian. The AVRO Arrow Pilot Watch is limited to 105 numbered pieces that feature an ETA 2824-2 Swiss Movement, Swiss Luminova hands, and leather Nato strap, equaling the AVRO ARROW MACH II’s performance and reliability with its aesthetically stunning design.
Swiss Automatic Movement
Powered by one of the most ambitious Swiss Movements, the ETA 2824 uses five-bearing format for its winding rotor. Its self-winding, oscillating weight spinning movement provides up to a 38-hour power reserve. The ETA line dates back as far as 1792 with the majority of watches produced by luxury watchmakers. The Intrepid Diver by Whitby Watch Co.is a fine Canadian inspired timepiece that will will set apart your integrity. What defines you?
The Arrow is a Limited Run Pilot watch featuring some of the great characteristics of the AVRO. The Arrow has a Seiko NH35A Automatic Movement and a traditional Pilot Dial display or a Detailed Dial for your acquired taste.
