Giveaway: Win a Tockr C-47 Watch and a Trip in a Historic C-47 Aircraft



Tockr is generously offering Worn & Wound readers in the United States the chance to win one of their C-47 watch models and a trip to Austin Texas to fly in a historic C-47 plane. More on the giveaway in a bit. First, here?s a bit about Tockr and their C-47 line.

Founded in October 2017, Tockr originates in Austin, Texas, the hometown of the brand?s Founder, Austin Ivey. Austin?s inspiration can be traced back to his grandfather, Eugene Xerxes Martin Jr., a U.S. Army pilot who flew a C-47 aircraft during World War II.

He went on to fly C-47 Skytrain transport planes over the ?Hump,? the infamous Eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains between China and India. He successfully flew 52 missions for which he was awarded the China War Memorial Medal.
