The London Air Ambulance Charity GMT

From Bamford London -

This is a very special watch to recognize and support a very special cause. 

So we'll let the folks from Bamford London tell it in their own words -

Bamford London is proud to announce the launch of a special GMT timepiece, created in support of the London's Air Ambulance Charity. For every London's Air Ambulance limited edition purchased, Bamford Watch Department will donate 22% of the ex vat sale to London's Air Ambulance Charity.

The watch has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the distinctive colours and identity of the life saving service. A distinctive design feature sees the traditional sweep seconds hand replaced with a replica of the helicopter's rotor blades, a subtle yet powerful tribute to the aircraft at the heart of the charity's life saving operations. At the base of the dial, a custom white medical cross houses a subtle helicopter silhouette, keeping the mission of the charity front and center.

The watch is housed in a robust black steel case, powered by a Swiss automatic GMT movement. This allows tracking of a second time zone via the internal bezel and dedicated GMT hand.

This special edition comes fitted as standard on a highly durable and vibrant Red Cordura Strap to perfectly complement the dial.

It is a pre-order item, priced at £1,800.00
