What watch did Spitfire pilots wear?

The Weems watch, with its distinctive double crown and rotating bezel, was a Spitfire pilot's favourite.

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Spitfire's maiden flight.

A pilot's watch should be bold and simple. It's as simple as that.

The Spitfire is synonymous with the RAF and the Battle of Britain. But it actually served most of the Allied forces during the Second World War.

The aircraft's name is legendary. But if its creator had got his way, it would have been given a far more tame moniker.
