'The Concorde 1969-2003' Wristwatch

The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was the world's first supersonic passengercarrying aircraft in scheduled flight service, and also the last. Concorde was operated by Air France and British Airways from 1976 to 2003, when the aviation legend was retired from service.

Over 50 years ago, on 2 March 1969, chief test pilot Andre Turcat flew the Concorde prototype 001 on its historic first flight from Toulouse, France. Seven months later, on 1 October 1969, the British-French Concorde achieved its first ever supersonic flight. On 21 January 1976, two Concordes took off simultaneously, one from British Airways and one from Air France, on the world's first scheduled supersonic passenger flights. Concorde made its final commercial flight on 24 October 2003, flying 100 passengers at twice the speed of sound, from New York's JFK International Airport to London Heathrow. A large crowd gathered at Heathrow to watch the final landing of a supersonic icon.

This stunning wristwatch has been issued, celebrating the extraordinary aviation icon that could fly at twice the speed of sound!
