MWC Classic 46mm Replica WW2 Japanese Kamikaze Pattern Military Aviators Watch with Automatic Movement
SKU Code: KAMIKAZE This Classic Kamikaze aviator watch is one of our distinguished WW2 Pilot watch models. The full original name of the watch was Seikosha Tensoku (Seikosha is now known as Seiko), and this watch pays homage to the WW2 timepieces introduced in 1940 and used throughout the war. The watch uses a modern automatic Japanese movement made by the manufacturer of the original watches. These timepieces are unique and distinct from other military watches used in WW2. The original watches were not made solely for Kamikaze pilots but were used by the majority of pilots who flew the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the primary Japanese fighter plane in the Pacific air war. While the A6M Zero was notably used in Kamikaze attacks against U.S. carriers, it was also extensively employed in various other air operations. The Japanese text on the caseback, 特別攻撃隊, translates to "Special Attack Corps." An original watch can be seen in the final two images. These original watches are now very rare and t
