Dive into this Collectors Box Edition of the A-11 Type, known as "the watch that won the war," and relive the fascinating history of the 58th Bombardment Wing and the 509th Composite Group, two of the most important units of World War II that revolutionized aerial warfare with the legendary B-29 Superfortress. The 58th Wing pioneered long-range bombing operations against Japan, carrying out crucial missions from the Mariana Islands and weakening Japan's military infrastructure. In turn, the 509th Composite Group, under the leadership of Colonel Paul Tibbets, specialized in a historic mission: conducting the first atomic bombings over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which changed the course of the war and hastened Japan's surrender. Both units worked together, with the 509th being a specialized evolution of the 58th, using the same B-29 but with modifications to carry atomic bombs. While the 58th continued its devastating conventional bombings, the 509th prepared to execute the nuclear missions that would end the conflict. This epic tale combines action, bravery, and military innovation, highlighting the fundamental role of both units in the outcome of WWII. This special edition includes a limited-edition watch, created as a tribute to the 58th Bombardment Wing, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of military history and 20th-century aviation.
