Hawker Hurricane
Designed as a tribute to one of Britain's most distinguished fighter aces and commanders in both Europe and the Pacific during WWII, the Hawker Hurricane Carey is a perfectly wearable pilot's watch drawn from a classic silhouette. Ensuring an easily readable dial, it features bold applied Arabic and baton indexes with Swiss lume on a matte canvas. Recessed subdials are enclosed by cockpit instrument-style frames, drawn from the Hawker Hurricane.
