Description

The ultra-rare Thomas-Morse Scout is the world’s first timepiece to feature an in-house forged case made entirely from the pistons and valve guides of a Le Rhône 9c rotary engine manufactured in 1918 to power the United States Air Service’s famous pursuit trainer.

Travelers can use the Aero Marquis’ GMT function to monitor a second time zone, marked by an angled bronze 24 hour chapter ring reminiscent of the casings of early 20th century aviation instruments. With magnetic resistance to 4,800 A/m, water resistance to 200 meters and a functional azimuth bezel, the Aero Marquis is the perfect multi-sport adventure watch. Swiss X1 grade C3 GL & X1 grade Light Old Radium GL keep the Thomas-Morse Scout Limited Edition legible day and night.

The twin dots at noon validate this piece as an authentic Sopwith watch with a case that is guaranteed forever.

The shock resistant caliber 2893-A2 Élaboré movement offers high grade accuracy and legendary Swiss reliability. The Thomas-Morse Scout edition sports an Emerald Green sunburst dial with Mariner Blue hands with the American tri-bar at 6 o’clock.

Sopwith watch cases are guaranteed forever against manufacturing and workmanship defects, cracking, breaking, lug failure or structural damage to the steel as determined by Sopwith Watch Company. Case warranty does not include cosmetic damage and scratching from normal use.

To submit a claim, send the complete watch to Sopwith Watch Company with a brief description of the damage. If a replacement is issued, it will be provided free of charge including re-assembly of the watch.

All Other Parts – 1 Year

Sopwith‘s 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects excluding damage resulting from normal wear and tear, misuses or accidental impact (including but not limited to scratching or wearing of PVD coatings, scratches, chipping of crystal), unauthorized repair, opening watch case back, adjustment to movement or any other modification work done outside our authorized service center, damage done to bracelets, straps or accessories, water infiltration or damage in watch due to failure to secure screw-down crown or exposure of watch to depths exceeding rated water-resistance.
