OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional “Hesalite” Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph – Cal. 3861
The Moonwatch! Reaching the moon is one of the most significant events not only in U.S. history, but in human history! And just as Americans were the first humans on the moon, the OMEGA Moonwatch was the first watch on the moon! Its Hesalite crystal even makes it period-accurate.

Oris Aquis New York Harbor II
Hamilton (the musical) may have immortalized the lyrics “32,000 troops in New York Harbor,” but Oris is on a mission to put a billion oysters in New York’s waterways! Like many Oris special edition watches, this one supports a good cause. And what’s more American than generosity and goodwill?!
Seiko U.S. Special Editions
Seiko is famous for its U.S. Special Edition pieces. Many models are launched exclusively in the U.S. market and celebrate America’s spirit of adventure. The SNR058 reaches for the stars with a dial inspired by interstellar gas fading into dark space.
Bell & Ross Instruments BR-X3 Patrouille de France
America wouldn’t be here without France’s aid during the Revolutionary War. This watch (limited to 250 pieces!) commemorates the French aerobatic team, the Patrouille de France. It connects the French military, BR’s aviation connections, and America’s big 250.
Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm
There are two things we’ve already mentioned in this blog – the Hamilton Khaki Field and Steve Rogers. So what’s more patriotic than Captain America himself wearing a Khaki Field in Marvel’s 2012 Avengers film? You’re right, nothing. This might not be the U.S. edition, but it’s American in its own right.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune
In 1776 when the U.S. was founded, Blancpain was turning 41 years old! As America celebrates 250 years, the brand is coming up on its own 300th anniversary (wow!) This watch is a celebration all on its own – red gold case, deep blue dial, complete calendar, and a tribute to the brand’s iconic diving heritage.
Oris Big Crown Hank Aaron Limited Edition
Baseball! America’s pastime! This red, white, and blue Oris Big Crown Pointer Date pays homage to the legendary Hank Aaron. Oris has a robust partnership with baseball, and the brand continually celebrates iconic players and their achievements, on and off the field. The Hank Aaron edition is limited to only 2,997 pieces, which is the same number as his record RBIs.
Bremont Terra Nova Jumping Hour 1776
A British brand celebrating America’s independence? No comment 🤐 This Bremont is throwing it way back to 1776. It features a special “1776” inscription on the dial which is a nod to Timothy Matlock, the original scribe of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The blue-grained dial, decorated eagle caseback, and red, white and blue accents make this a banner addition to the anniversary lineup. These are limited, so get in touch to get yours!
Bonus Pick: Hamilton American Classic Intra-matic Chronograph H
Another Hamilton!? Yep! Before it became a fully Swiss manufacture, Hamilton watches were made with pride in Lancaster, PA. What’s more, this watch’s credentials are right there in the name: the American Classic! This particular Hamilton is one of the most affordable mechanical chronographs on the market. (It’s also one of the ONLY manual chronographs at this price.) And – to top it all off – it’s features the red, white, and blue.
