PRODUCT DETAILS
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.
