Built To Pass Down The Heroic D-DAY Story

With the insane historical legacy the Willys MB has, we decided to build this A-11 LMUV for exceptional longevity. Equipped with a NH-35 Automatic movement and combined with a double domed sapphire glass we’ve looked to maximize the reliability & durability of each watch. We’ve also added a screw- down crown & 10 ATM Water resistance to give this watch a true field watch rating.

The Vehicle

The Willys MB

The Willys MB was the standard U.S. Army light utility vehicle of the Second World War — produced between 1941 and 1945 to a strict military specification demanding reliability, simplicity, and field repairability above all else.

Over 640,000 units were built. They served on every WW2 front: North Africa, the Pacific, and Europe. On June 6, 1944, they came ashore at Normandy as part of the largest amphibious operation in history.

Nicknamed by General Eisenhower as “America’s Greatest Contribution To Modern Warfare” it’s simplicity and design revolutionized the way armies moved through battlefields.
