Darkest Hour

Recalls one of the most defining moments of World War II: in 1940, with Britain standing alone against Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill inspired a nation to resist with unshakable resolve and faith in victory. This spirit of courage and defiance lives on in his iconic words, engraved on the caseback of the watch as a timeless reminder of resilience.

Aviators' numbers

Timeless aviator readability

The dial is a direct homage to the aviator watches worn during the war, whose oversized numerals, generously coated with luminous material, allowed pilots to read the time even in low-light conditions. This same design has been preserved today, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes.

The Darkest Hour

A legacy reinterpreted

Inspired by a rare Stewart Dawson military timepiece from the early 1900s, the Darkest Hour collection is a modern icon. This vintage model was uniquely produced for both the armed forces and the civilian population due to overwhelming demand. The new design captures the robust utility and historical gravitas of its WWI-era ancestor. It is a tribute to a time when reliability and precision were matters of national importance. Wear a piece of history: a watch built for endurance, inspired by a legacy of great demand.

Caseback

Honoring tradition with distinctive engravings

The double case back with a hinged dust cover is a tribute to timepieces of that era, while the engraved caseback personalized with random quotes from Sir Winston Churchill adds an exclusive touch of distinction to the Darkest Hour Collection.

Lume

See the glow in action

This simulation allows you to see the effect of SuperLuminova applied to the large Arabic numerals by comparing the dial’s appearance in normal and low light conditions, with a simple design that ensures perfect readability even in the dark.
