The limited edition WASP homage watch is a tribute to the Women Airforce Service Pilots from WWII. Every aspect of this watch intentionally honors these courageous women aviators.
It features the official WASP wings insignia on the face, and the words "Honoring the WASP - Women Airforce Service Pilots 1942-1944" engraved on the back. The blue GMT numbers on the dial is the same blue of their military uniforms. The hour markings are designed to resemble the rivets of the airplanes they flew.
The WASP watch comes in a collector’s box with an authentic penny from the years 1942-1944, a nod to the tradition that the WASP had of tossing a penny into the wishing well and making a wish at their training grounds at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas. Each watch will have a steel 1943 penny as nearly all circulating pennies at that time were struck in zinc–coated steel because copper and nickel were needed for the Allied war effort. The number "38" on the dial is in memory of the 38 WASP who died in service.
With only a limited number of 1102 pieces produced for each of the 1102 WASP that completed the program, it's a must-have for collectors and anyone who admires the bravery and determination of these trailblazing women. Get yours today and be a part of history.
