Zero West | S2 – SPITFIRE (1936) | Ex-Display

This is an Ex-Display model which has never been in daily use and has been tried on by potential clients. 

The S2 watch conveys the simplicity of the classic avionic dials found in the Spitfire cockpit. Housed in a precision billet machined smooth polished case and matching ZW DSL lugs, is a distinct black dial reminiscent of a Smiths 8 day clock with period numerals and indexes, clearly defined avionics style hands, and red sweep seconds hand. The classic dial is framed by a simple black bezel ring and the hands and dial are highlighted with SuperLuminova X1 luminous pigment. The rear of the S2 watch has a technical plan view of a Mark IXc Spitfire.

The watch is powered by the stellar Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement thus ensuring it never misses a beat. Hand and date adjustment is by a brass finished locking screw crown modelled on the joystick gun platform fire button, a feature once so familiar to those brave young RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain. The watch is fitted with a ZW handmade vintage leather strap with contrasting stitching and an engraved black PVD buckle.
