P47 THUNDERBOLT

Originally designed by Georgian immigrant Alexander Kartveli, the American Republic P-47 Thunderbolt’s powerful engine, formidable firepower, and heavy armor plating gave it a reputation as nigh-on indestructible by both its pilots and adversaries during World War II. Just like its inspiration, the Tsikolia P-47 Thunderbolt pilot’s watch is unapologetically bold, durable, and capable of tackling almost any aviation challenge with its highly accurate Swiss chronograph movement, rugged construction, and visual cues directly inspired by the legendary fighter aircraft.

The Tsikolia P-47 Thunderbolt’s striking multi-function dial takes many of its visual cues, as well as its color scheme, directly from the cockpit of the original P-47. Rendered in high-visibility orange on a crisp black background, clean white on olive drab, or aircraft aluminum-style two-tone silver, the luminous flieger-style hands and rounded, aircraft-style hours numerals ensure the P-47 Thunderbolt is both extremely legible at a glance, and striking enough to demand attention in any situation. Additional touches like the “Up/Down” indicator at 9 o’clock evoke the feeling of jumping into a war-era cockpit every time the watch is strapped on. The 10 o’clock chronograph minutes subdial is tilted as a knowing nod to the original P-47’s tilted altimeter, and the screws flanking each of the three subdials visually echo cockpit instruments while also adding brilliant, dynamic highlights to the dial in changing light.

A bold, ultra-functional pilot’s chronograph needs equally rugged construction, and the Tsikolia P-47 Thunderbolt’s case is every bit as tough as the plane that inspired it. Aggressively styled and sized at a dominating 47mm wide, the P-47 Thunderbolt’s surgical grade 316L stainless steel case can be optionally coated with deep black PVD, providing both incredible scratch resistance and a stealthy, all-black look. Notched hour markers along the smooth, rounded bezel add a heavier, more purposeful look to the design while further improving legibility, while the Thunderbolt’s oversized crown and broad piston-style pushers make operation easy even while wearing heavy flight gloves. A classic riveted brown leather strap completes the case, with compelling distressed aging.

Inside this high-flying machine beats the dependable, precise Ronda 5040.D Swiss Made quartz chronograph movement. Able to record intervals as small as 1/10 of a second, offering robust shock resistance, and providing a hefty 54 months battery life, the gold plated 5040.D is the perfect blend of functionality, toughness, and Swiss refinement.

Even the Tsikolia P-47 Thunderbolt’s packaging is passionately and thoughtfully designed, with an olive drab ammo crate-style wooden box that has received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. With a design that echoes both the spirit and the legendary toughness of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter plane, the Tsikolia P-47 Thunderbolt is a pilot’s watch ready for any mission.
