GEOFFREY HH ROTH TAKES THE AVIATOR WATCH TO NEW HEIGHTS

Geoffrey Roth Watch Engineering has partnered with the Collings Foundation to pay tribute to the B-24J “Witchcraft” Liberator. This watchmaking brand and the non-profit organization share a passion for the preservation of American history and fine craftsmanship. The highlight of this unique partnership will be a limited-edition 250 piece run of Geoffrey’s new HH7 Pilot Watch. For every watch sold, Geoffrey Roth will donate $250 to support the non-profit’s important work and keep the B-24J Liberator where it belongs – in the skies.

Known as the aircraft that never once turned back during a mission and kept all of its crewmen alive during World War II, the Consolidated B-24J Liberator played a role in the fight for freedom as extraordinary as its nickname: Witchcraft. Of the more than 18,000 B-24’s built, this one restored by the Collings Foundation stands as the world’s only airworthy B-24J. For over 30 years, Witchcraft visits more than 120 airports nationwide as part of the Wings of Freedom Tour. But it’s possible to take a closer look at the aircraft and check its incredible interior by taking a virtual tour anytime.

To celebrate and support the foundation’s vital work, Geoffrey Roth is proud to announce the launch of a 250 piece limited-edition run of their HH7 Pilot Watch, created and hand-assembled in his studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. The watch starts with a 42mm matte finish case milled from a solid billet of 316L stainless steel; it features Swiss SuperLuminova printing on the dial and is equipped with a high-quality 24 jewel automatic movement, protected behind a solid 316L caseback engraved with a unique illustration of the B-24J “Witchcraft” Liberator. The watch’s color scheme, with its stainless steel case, its black dial and brown leather strap, completes the ensemble and is reminiscent of a traditional WWII pilot look. This very special HH7 model debuts for $2,250 and will be available exclusively at gr-we.com. For every watch sold, Geoffrey Roth will be donating $250 directly to the Collings Foundation to preserve this legendary B-24J.

For avid watch collectors, aviation enthusiasts, WWII history admirers, and American patriots in general wishing to carry an exquisite reminder of freedom on their wrist, there has never been a better time to acquire a Geoffrey Roth timepiece.
