CHASE-DURER USAF B-52 WEAPONS SCHOOL WATCH

I'm a bit of a "watchaholic" and own more than a few timepieces that I have picked up over the years. I'm also somewhat of a collector of certain types of military memorabilia and ad art from World War II on up, especially if it has a military theme. Here is a watch I came across while looking for the perfect gift for a good friend of mine. This timepiece combines my love of a good looking watch and military history. I truly love the look and feel of this chronograph. It was no surprise that it was crafted by Chase-Durer.

Chase-Durer chronographs have been worn by some of our most elite military aviators. Among them the 121st Fighter Squadron who defend the Nation’s Capital, the 34th and 37th Bomber Squadrons (B-1B Lancer), The USAF Precision Flying Team, The Thunderbirds (See the Chase-Durer watch at the end of this article), and pilots of the US Navy Top Gun School.

This distinctive, multi-function chronograph not only has the USAF Weapons School insignia on the face, but also a medallion fashioned from an actual piece of a battle-tested B-52 Strato Fortress Bomber set into the back of the watch case.

This Chase-Durer special edition watch is not only attractive and unique, but is also a finely crafted timepiece with the functions you expect of a precision quartz chronograph. crafted from solid stainless, it has a good weight of 4.8 ounces. Each watch is serial numbered.

chase-durer photographs

great-looking images! Do you need the photographer's permission to show images on another site (this one). I would think so, unless it says available to all to copy etc where you first viewed it? Or did you take the photos yourself? stunning clear images! I'm a worrywart regarding rules etc, I like to never go wrong, a "good girl" lol, and learn from others what is allowed or not allowed.
