Introducing The REC Watches RJM

One of the reasons we love vintage watches is that they come with stories attached The question is, can a modern watch do they same? The folks over in Copenhagen at REC think so The RJM is the brands first aviation inspired watch and if you look closely enough at the dial you will see a small window of untreated Spitfire aluminium which frames the date at 6 o'clock.

Now, REC is not the only manufacturer to get excited about implanting components of cars, planes, or boats into watches, but they have developed something of a reputation for doing so over the years This new watch is named the RJM in recognition of the Spitfire plane's late designer Mr Reginald Joseph Mitchell.

In total there will be somewhere around 4,000 watches produced, depending on the amount of aluminum that can be removed from the aircraft The PT879 aircraft in question is currently under restoration in England, and only parts not suitable in the restoration process were used for the dials of this watch. .
