Description

Design Inspiration

RAF-1948 draws directly from the IWC Mark XI, issued to Royal Air Force pilots in 1948. Large Arabic numerals and a clean dial layout optimized for split-second readability at altitude.

Movement

Powered by the Seiko VH31 mecha-quartz — sweeping seconds hand at 4 beats per second, quartz accuracy (±20 sec/month), no ticking, no winding.

Case

316L stainless steel, 36mm diameter, fully brushed finish. Double-domed K1 crystal with double-sided coating — anti-reflective on the inside, scratch-resistant on the outside. Push-pull crown, 50m water resistance.

Dial & Hands

Matte black with white printed Arabic numerals. C3 Super-LumiNova on hands and indices.

Strap

18mm black nylon NATO with brushed stainless hardware.
