Description

Our first-ever watch, crafted from an actual parachute used during WWII, the Pathfinder 44 incorporates a truly unique piece of camouflage into each dial.

We’ve included the now-iconic quote, “Surrender? NUTS!”, a defiant reply by Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, then commander of Bastogne, to the German demand for his and his troops’ surrender.

As a final tribute to the 101st Airborne, we’ve retained our signature A-11 Tom Rice Spec case design.
