MWC SKU Code: KAMIKAZE

This Classic recreation Kamikaze aviator watch is one of MWC's classic WW2 Pilot watch models. The full original name of the watch was Seikosha Tensoku (Seikosha is now known as Seiko) and this watch pays homage to the WW2 timepieces introduced in 1940 and  used throughout the war. The watch uses a modern automatic Japanese movement made by the manufacturer of the original watches. These watches are very unique and look totally different to other military watches used in WW2. The original watches were not made solely for Kamikaze pilots but were used by the majority of pilots who flew the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, this aircraft was the primary Japanese fighter plane used in the Pacific air war. It was the Mitsubishi A6M Zero that was primarily used in the Kamikaze attacks against U.S carriers, but they were extensively employed in many other air operations as well.   

 Examples of original watches can be seen for reference only in the final three images no's. 7, 8 & 9, these are not for sale. 

These original watches are now very rare and tend to command extremely high prices averaging €14,000/€22,000 in watch auctions.

The extra-large case size of 46mm (excluding the crown) combined with the unique and stunning appearance makes this a very impressive timepiece that has considerable presence and tends to attract a lot of favourable comments, especially from other watch enthusiasts.

This model has a has a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound. and can also be hand wound if required.

This watch is popular with a lot of our regular buyers who are looking for something unique.
