RSC watches | Affordable pilots watches

Posted on 20 April 2021 at 1:17 PM

For the true lover of special watches, it is often not only the quality and appearance of a watch brand that is important. When a particular watch brand or a specific watch has a special story with it, this is often highly appreciated by the watch enthusiast. It means that certain watches are also considered a collector's item and yet have that extra appeal. If you do not only consider yourself one of the lovers of a beautiful watch, but are interested in WWI and specifically in aviation, then we have a very special watch brand for you. We are talking about the Belgian watch brand RSC watches. Co-founder and designer Ronald Steffen himself is very fascinated by WWI and was inspired by this period when designing the designs for RSC watches. Every watch from RSC therefore carries a piece of nostalgia and history with it. RSC has succeeded in presenting a beautiful collection of watches that are not only a tribute to aviation, but are also very affordable.

RSC Vickers 203 watch

RSC is a watch brand that may be less known, but is one of our favorite watch brands. The brand is very sympathetic and we like watches with accents and references to the past. At RSC you are then in the right place, because the brand knows how to make a perfect combination between contemporary technology and beautiful details of aviation from years ago.

RSC was the first to market a watch with a design based on the Sopwith Camel, a legendary aircraft that played an important role in WWI. After this design Ronald Steffen was inspired by many other aircraft with history. Aircraft like Mustangs and Spitfires, but also jet fighters, helicopters and cargo planes. RSC managed to grow into an icon among pilot's watches with his designs. The designs based on well-known squadrons (from England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands) that fought in WWI are characterized by oversized watch cases and squadron logos that are incorporated into the watches. The eye for detail with regard to these designs is therefore sublime. What makes an RSC watch even more special is that they are produced in only a very limited edition (250 pieces per series). With a watch from RSC you can be sure that you have a unique and original watch on your wrist.

The heart of RSC watches is formed by high-quality movements from well-known movement factories such as Miyota. Furthermore, the RSC watches use various high-quality materials such as hardened mineral glass, stainless steel and particularly beautiful leather. The watches from the different series from RSC all offer a clear dial and take you back to the days of yore with their traditional look. A nice series within the collection of RSC is the RSC Vickers F.B. 5 series. The watches in this series are equipped with a Miyota quartz movement and a stainless steel watch case. The strap is made of high-quality leather and offers a high wearing comfort. Also special is the "UK Royal Flying Corps" designation. The watches offer a water resistance of up to 50 meters. We also see nice extra functionalities, such as luminous indicators, a second hand and a date display. The watches close with a buckle clasp.

A second beautiful series within the collection is the RSC SPAD XIII series. This French series from RSC is characterized, among other things, by the dark gray dial in combination with a PVD black watch case. Here too we see a Miyota quartz movement and a high quality leather watch strap. These watches are labeled Aeronautique Militaire, which of course offers a nice extra accent. The RSC SPAD XIII watches are provided with particularly beautiful and unique accents on the dial. This makes these watches stand out in the collection and will certainly be appreciated by the real enthusiast.

The watches from the RSC Sopwith Hawker series are a very good example of the variety that RSC watches offer. The various beautiful accents that are incorporated in these watches make them absolutely unique. Due to the clear dial and oversized watch case, these watches are also very easy to read in terms of time and date. The watches are waterproof up to 50 meters and offer nice extra functionalities, such as luminous indicators, a second hand and a date display. The watches close with a handy buckle clasp.
All in all, the RSC watches are very original due to a unique combination of properties and they definitely have their own recognizable identity. In addition, the limited edition of 250 pieces per series makes these watches extra special and a highly sought-after collector's item. Do you have a passion for aviation and WWI in particular and do you have a preference for beautiful pilot's watches? Then viewing the RSC collection is definitely worth it. The aforementioned series from RSC are a selection from the collection, the brand also has more beautiful models to offer.

When you order a watch from the RSC collection from us, you will receive it in a luxurious official box with a 2-year warranty and manual at home. At the moment you can order a number of very beautiful models from us with an attractive discount. This makes it even more interesting to choose a watch from RSC now!

Glycine Airman 42 GL0065 watch

Watch brands with character, a special history and a touch of nostalgia are extra attractive for most watch enthusiasts. What could be more fun than being able to tell a special story when someone compliments you on your watch? There are various watch brands with a long history or a special approach. Glycine is a leading brand in the watch industry that has been producing its watches in Switzerland since 1914. The brand was founded by Eugene Meylan who only strived for perfection. This is still reflected in the Glycine watches today. Top quality watches that are sublime in terms of quality, technology and appearance.

Iron Annie watches 2021

Posted on 25 March 2021 at 2:33 PM

In our blog we write about watches, watch winders and watch boxes. We often highlight the specific brand to provide more information about the background, history and philosophy of the brand. In this blog article we write about a watch brand that has been on the market for several years and replaces the legendary Junkers brand. Junkers has stopped in the form in which it has been active for the past 20 years and has been succeeded by a very nice new watch brand. Namely Iron Annie.

Iron Annie is still a relatively young brand, but comes from the same factory as quality brands Zeppelin and Junkers. These fall under the same watch manufacturer, the Pointtec company. Iron Annie therefore shows some similarities with these brands. Starting with the fact that they deliver high quality at a reasonable price and have become popular with a wide audience. Moreover, Iron Annie, like Junkers for example, knows how to offer a very wide and diverse collection of watches. This is not only due to the appearance of the watches, but also, for example, to the fact that Iron Annie offers watches with different types of timepieces. We are talking about automatic, mechanical and quartz movements. Depending on the watch model, the watches are equipped with a Swiss or Japanese timepiece.

Iron Annie is a watch brand with a great story and a clear passion for the legendary aviation industry. For example, the name of this brand can be traced back to the JU-52 aircraft with registration D-AQUI. At the time, these were admirably baptized Iron Annie by the Americans. These aircraft were known for being robust and reliable. Characteristic was also the distinctive design and the high-quality technology behind the aircraft. The Iron Annie watches also have all these features to offer, so that this name not only brings a bit of nostalgia, but is also very appropriate. Quality and workmanship are high on the priority list in the development of Iron Annie watches. Iron Annie also considers innovation to be of paramount importance, so that with an Iron Annie watch you get a strong piece of technology. Each Iron Annie watch is available with a beautiful leather or Milanese stainless steel strap. This way you can easily have your favorite watch entirely according to your own taste!

The watches within the Iron Annie collection are timeless and of very good quality. The collection consists of different series and Iron Annie offers a lot of choice as mentioned. Pilot's watches are an important part of Iron Annie's collection. These watches have a retro look and a direct reference to the aircraft of yesteryear. The Bauhaus art movement also plays an important role in Iron Annie's collection. This movement stands for minimalism and a modest design. This is reflected in the Iron Annie Bauhaus watches in simple designs and calm-looking dials. Moreover, characteristic of these watches include the thin watch cases. In terms of color, we do see diversity within this series. Different shades of brown, but also blue and black are reviewed. The watches from the Bauhaus series are easy to combine with different types and styles of outfits, partly due to their modest character. The watches in the Bauhaus series are available with different types of timepieces, automatic, mechanical and quartz timepieces. Different models in this special series offer nice extra functionalities. Consider, for example, a glass bottom, power reserve indicator and luminous indicators.

Another beautiful series within the Iron Annie collection is the Iron Annie Jubilaumsmodell series. These watches are specially designed in honor of the 30th anniversary of the watch manufacturer Pointtec. These watches are limited in number of pieces and therefore unique and extra attractive for the enthusiast or collector. Within this series of watches, we have of course also opted for only high-quality materials, such as extremely strong sapphire glass, stainless steel and quality leather. This series also has various extras to offer such as date display, second hand and power reserve display. The appearance of the Iron Annie Jubilaumsmodell watches can best be described as traditional, classic and stylish.

Then there is the Iron Annie Amazonas series. The inspiration for this series of watches can be found in the historical aviation of both passengers and cargo in South America. The watches from the Iron Annie Amazonas series look calm, clear and classic. Classic colors, such as dark blue and dark brown, have also been used. We also see various color styles with regard to the particularly beautiful leather watch straps. There are several models in this series on which you can also see the moon phase. This is not only a nice functionality, but also a nice accent on the dial. In addition, different models also offer various other extra functionalities.

The above series are of course only a part of the beautiful collection of Iron Annie. If you are looking for an affordable watch of high quality and have a passion for the historic aviation industry, the collection of this brand is definitely worth a look. Iron Annie is also a very interesting brand for the real collector. A special watch with a story and a special background cannot be missed there!

BensonTrade has been an official dealer of Junkers, Zeppelin and Iron Annie for more than 15 years (2 years since Iron Annie was founded). We offer a beautiful collection of Iron Annie watches, a clear warranty of at least 2 years and very important: competitive prices. We deliver every Iron Annie watch in a chic watch box with manual. We ship for free within the Netherlands. Of course you can pay in our webshop with your credit card, iDeal, Paypal or regular bank transfer. Take a quick look at the current Iron Annie watch collection and be surprised by German quality for very nice prices!
