The P-40M Mechanical pilot watch is inspired by the Osh Kosh Grand Champion restoration of the P-40M by The Tri-State Warbird Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Over 35000 hours of painstaking restoration of every part, every wire & bolt to their exacting 1943 specifications makes the P-40M one of the most accurate P-40 restorations in the World.

The P-40M Mechanical pilot watch is in homage of the Waltham 8-day clock in the P-40 at the time which adhered to the A-11 specification set by the US Military for cockpit clocks.

Portions of each sale go to the Tri-State Warbird Museum for future warbird restorations.
