ROYAL BRITISH LEGION FOUNDER'S CHRONOGRAPH LIMITED EDITION
HERITAGE BROWN
WATCHES 18
Inspired By And In Aid Of The RBL
We're honoured to present the next limited editions in our partnership in support of the Royal British Legion, in their centennial year.
The two new timepieces have been inspired by the RBL's first Chairman, Sir Thomas Frederick Lister, and the first President, Field Marshal Earl Haig. The Royal British Legion was formed in 1921 by Lister and Haig in the aftermath of the First World War to fight for the rights of those who had given so much and come back to so little.
With an outstanding 1,000 units produced for each of the new models, every timepiece sold will contribute to this amazing charity and support those who serve and have served in the British Armed Forces and their families.
Timepieces That Tell A Story
Offering legibility and a balanced aesthetic, the Founder's edition is a true bicompax chronograph fused with vintage elements, such as cathedral style hands and a telemeter on the chapter ring. Completing the dial is a striking red poppy on the chronograph seconds hand as a symbol of Remembrance.
At 40mm in diameter, the case is perfectly sized and proportioned. An "onion" style crown draws from trench watches in the early 20th century and became a quintessential feature later used in the first pilot watches. Topping the crown is a beautiful red two petal poppy encased in epoxy.
The Founder's edition features a dependable Japanese meca-quartz chronograph movement that blends the best of both worlds - quartz accuracy and the crisp hand feel of a mechanical movement.
Each of the 1000 limited edition timepieces is individually numbered and comes packaged in a striking blue and red gift box, resembling the Royal British Legion's branding. Each watch comes complete with a complimentary RBL poppy pin, to wear in support of the fallen.
£15 from the sale of this product will be paid to Royal British Legion Trading Limited (Company no. 4783730 registered in England and Wales) which gives its taxable profits to The Royal British Legion (Charity no. 219279).
