Aviation Watch: Graham Chronofighter Fortress

In the aviation industry, watch also plays an important part in it. In the beginning, stopwatches used by flying officers were in fact just large pocket watches strapped over bomber jackets. Although, it helps the aviators to time the air raids and follow flight plans, one inconvenient point is that these watch are in the confinement of the flight deck in combat, and after dark, on a night mission, in the dim glow of the cockpit instruments.
Following the voice of reformation by fliers, Graham took the first step and created a new aviation watch, called “Chronofighter Fortress”.
