Why British Pilots Used Graham Watches in World War II | watch pilot.com

Watch Pilot Co-founder and Pilot Tim Harrison talks to Paul Buchannan about the link between Graham Watches and the World War II - And why the pilots and navigators of the Lancaster wore Graham Watches.
Discover Graham Watches, located in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country - including their Chronofighter & Swordfish watches, inspired by the timepieces worn by World War II flying aces and pilots.
The Graham watch brand is easily recognisable thanks to their large and bold sizes and striking levers that are set on the left side of the case in the Graham Chronofighter watch collection. This unique principle recalls back to the early stopwatches used in World War II by flying officers who needed to easily reach the left of a watch case with their right hand.
The roots of this independently owned Swiss watch brand actually began in England, when George Graham began making his own watches back in 1695. Relaunched in 1998, Graham builds sporty watches for pilots under the Chronofighter line, auto-inspired watches in the Silverstone series, and more complicated horological watches in the Geo.Graham line.
