Uncle Spike lived quite a life. Though he'd long retired from the Air Force by the time I came around, he never lost his military bearing. To put it bluntly, I was intimidated by him in my younger days, but as I got older, we became close.
After much goading, he finally started recounting tales from his military days. Of bringing the fight to the Germans in the skies over Europe as a B-17 pilot. Of commanding a reconnaissance wing in Korea and befriending his South Korean compatriots over big banquets where the soju and whiskey flowed like water.
Aside from a few photos, all I have to remember Uncle Spike by is the timepiece that he wore during most of his escapades. Won in a card game in Rome, this cushion case watch is a timeless testament to the spirit of adventure.
We've modeled our Men's Commander Chronograph on Uncle Spike's trusty timekeeper. Sporting a classic look, precision movement, metallic blue hands, Arabic numerals and a date window, this watch is designed for the rough-and-tumble life of a globe-hopping man.
Embrace your own adventurous spirit with the Men's Commander Chronograph today.
