Here we have a rare Bremont ALT 1-Z CH47 limited edition chronograph watch issued only to serving RAF Chinook helicopter pilots. A limited series of only 50 pieces this is one of only 20 pieces that were made in DLC and comes with full (unworn and still sealed) DLC bracelet.
The watch comes with excellent provenance with the owner having started off by being a Sea King pilot in the Falklands and has most recently done 2 tours of duty in Afghanistan in the Chinook.
The watch is a full set with boxes, papers, leather holdall, strap changing tool, cap and comes with brief resume of the Chinook pilot owner and some photographs of the watch being worn while flying the Chinook.
