Tockr has partnered with the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) to offer the D-Day C-47, a watch with a dial made from aluminum originally found on the Douglass Aircraft C-47 Skytrain that led the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France in 1945. Since 1957, the CAF has been restoring, exhibiting, and flying historically significant US military aircraft. Today the CAF has over 80 units spread across the globe that collectively own over 170 vintage military planes. Tockr is an aviation-driven watch brand whose founder, Austin Ivey, is an experienced pilot, making Tockr an ideal partner for the CAF.
The plane in question was dubbed ?That?s All, Brother? by its crew. The best interpretation of the name is that it was 1940s-speak for something like: ?You?re Going Down, F*!#@r??a fitting name for a plane that would drop the first armed paratroopers into Normandy on D-Day. The CAF is resurrecting this plane right down to the same slapdash paint-job, grammatical errors, and other authentic details they?ve painstakingly researched from a limited number of photographs. Artists have even projected those photos onto the plane in order to trace out the exact dimensions of various markings. Proceeds from sales of the Tockr D-Day C-47 watch will go back to the CAF to help complete the restoration.

“That’s All, Brother” in all its glory.
