Vortic’s first Limited Edition, the Military Edition is a set of 50 wristwatches built from very special antique American pocket watches. The pocket watches inside these wristwatches were originally manufactured for the U.S. Army Air Corps and flown on the B-17s and B-24s (the bomber aircraft) in World War II. It’s the ultimate military watch and has the most provenance of any product we’ve ever made.

Available only on Veterans Day, we will donate $500 from each watch to the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative that trains disabled military vets how to become professional watchmakers. The average unemployment rate for disabled war veterans is 82%, and the $25,000 we donate will put a dent in that figure!

Check out the National News Story here for more details on the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative:

The product descriptions and photos below will tell you more about all the specific details of the watch but we recommend watching our Military Edition Launch Video for the whole story.

NOTE: this is a pre-order and the watches will be made to order and delivered in early 2020, likely in February. Every watch by Vortic Watch Company is a unique, completely American made, hand-built piece, and that level of craftsmanship takes time. Full payment is due up-front to reserve yours.

After purchase, you will receive an email offering you two upgrades:

1) Choose Your Serial Number ( $500) - you may select a specific serial number like “2/50”, “3/50”, etc for an additional fee.

2) Rare Movement Marked “U.S. GOVT.” ( $500) - you can choose to upgrade the movement to one of the few special, rare movements we have with an additional original engraving. SOLD OUT
