Limited edition C-47 Skeleton ‘Dark Spirit’ watch launches

By General Aviation News Staff · March 15, 2021 ·

Tockr has launched a new C-47 “Dark Spirit” skeleton watch series, limited to just 10 pieces.

Austin Ivey, a third-generation pilot, founded the Tockr brand to honor the legacy of his grandfather, a World War II C-47 combat pilot, and the C-47 aircraft radial engine became the design blueprint for the brand’s inaugural watch collection.

Years later, Tockr continues to draw on these experiences and influences to evolve its collections. The Dark Spirit offers a peek under the C-47’s hood with a skeletonized movement and updated stealth-black detailing, according to company officials.

The Dark Spirit takes its name from the 316L black PVD coating on its 42mm stainless-steel case. Each case is engraved with a serial number from 1/10 to 10/10.

Its skeletonized, Swiss-made automatic movement can be seen through an anti-glare sapphire crystal on both the dial side and case back.

The dial side offers a clear reading of the hours, minutes, and central seconds, while the reverse presents another view of the automatic winding caliber STP 6-15 H6 and custom skeletonized rotor.

Dark Spirit comes delivered with two strap options, including a black calfskin strap and an extra black silicon band. Both straps feature a black PVD coated stainless steel 316L pin buckle engraved with the Tockr logo.

The C-47 Skeleton Dark Spirit will retail for $2,700 USD, but the 10-piece edition is available for a special pre-order price of $1,899 for a limited time at Tockr.com.
