Description

The Vickers Armstrongs Limited Edition Hand Assembled Challenger Barrel Roll in Steel Red men’s watch is named for George Henry Challenger, an aviator and aerospace engineer who spent time as part of the Vickers design crew. Challenger designed the Vickers F.B.19, which was part of the Royal Flying Corps during World War I and took its first flight in August 1916. 
 
 The Chronograph movement combines with the tachymeter chapter ring and is used to measure multiple time periods from a single device. Its garnet-red dial is accented by Minutes, Hours and Seconds counters along with luminous hands and luminous indices to enhance timekeeping and make reading the dial convenient in all conditions. 
 
 The timepiece is adorned with the iconic Vickers Armstrongs logo-engraved stainless steel caseback, while the wine-red leather strap and steel IP case demonstrate the elegant yet robust nature of Vickers aircraft that made them a vital aspect to lead Britain towards victory.
