Bremont will auction one of its special U.S military collaboration watches, the F-15 "Eagle Driver", to raise money for the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association.
All Bremont military edition watches are exclusive to military operators and purchases are subject to strict verification. As a rare exception, the United States Air Force F-15C Eagle community has agreed to allow Bremont to auction watch #15 with all proceeds going to the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association, a charitable organisation affectionately known as the "River Rats". Since 1970, "The River Rats" have awarded more than 1,100 scholarship grants with a value of over $2.3 million dollars.
The Bremont "Eagle Driver" special military edition is a unique and bespoke watch normally available exclusively to current or former F-15C pilots. In cooperation with The Boeing Company, the Bremont "Eagle Driver" watch project is based on the retail Bremont Boeing Model 1. All proceeds will go toward the River Rats and their scholarship programs.
The Bremont F-15 "Eagle Driver" watch takes its inspiration from the world-renowned Boeing F-15C Eagle, designated by many as the "World's Greatest Air Superiority Fighter". Originally developed and built by McDonnell Douglas in the 1970's, the Eagle has amassed an astounding victory record of 104 kills to zero losses, an achievement that puts it in contention for the title of the greatest fighter ever made. Designed with inputs from U.S. Air Force F-15C pilots, this mechanical chronometer is a must have for anyone who has flown the mighty Eagle. This auction marks a one-off opportunity for someone to own serial number 15.
The auction ends May 19, 2017 at 1300 GMT.
Thanks.
