In Tockr’s Own Words:
“Tockr teamed up with the Commemorative Air Force to create the Special Edition C-47 D-Day watch. Each dial has been made of material rescued from That’s All, Brother — the famous paratrooper transport from WW2. Since the CAF needed to make the aircraft flight worthy again, damaged areas of metal needed to be removed. Yet the historic scrap was too precious for the junk-heap… What better way to preserve & observe a precious piece of history? A Tockr D-Day C-47 isn’t just for you, but for future generations to come.” –Tockr
