: Amazingly, not only does this seem to be a real watch, it is
: intended as a tribute to the paratroopers, hence the Airborne
: name:

: "The BR 01 Airborne is an anthem to the extraordinary saga
: of military paratroopers. This new watch is a tribute to those
: brave young men who fought in one of the toughest army corps,
: particularly the US Airborne divisions.

: The Airborne divisions were born during the Second World War. They
: were the first to be exposed to danger and the first ones to
: face death. Their most famous motto was “Death from Above”
: symbolised by a skull that was a reminder to them of both their
: power and vulnerability.

: Since then, the symbol has spread to other military regiments. It
: is often embossed on uniforms patches or on fighter planes. The
: skull is a constant reminder of the omnipresence of death on
: each military mission."

: "The BR 01 Airborne reinvents the notion of the talisman,
: and personifies the very spirit of these outstanding men. It is
: a genuine tribute to the noblest of military values as well as
: to the bravery of soldiers who face death on a daily basis to
: defend their country."

: Some tribute...
