Heritage-Inspired. BATTLEFIELD-Ready. Adventure-Proven.
In the tense years leading up to WWII, European powers launched massive efforts to modernize their armed forces. Aviation was advancing fast—and with it, the need for precision tools in the cockpit. Military design bureaus issued specs for rugged new pilot’s watches, and among them emerged the most iconic of them all: the Beobachtungs-Uhr, or B-Uhr—built for high-altitude navigation, split-second timing, and deadly precision.
The Redwood Pilot Type B Quad-Pulse is forged in that same spirit. Inspired by the watches worn by WWII fighter pilots, it’s reengineered with modern specs, rugged internals, and mission-ready durability. You might not be intercepting enemy aircraft at 20,000 feet—but it’s good to know your gear was built like you are: tough, capable, and always ready.

In the heat of the mission, there's no room for second-guessing. That’s why the Type B Quad-Pulse runs on the Seiko VH31—a rock-solid movement with a smooth sweeping second hand that evokes the cadence of an automatic, ticking four times per second. No winding. No fine-tuning. Just unwavering precision, thanks to fewer moving parts and no-nonsense quartz reliability. It's the kind of movement you strap on when you're flying into the unknown—and you need your gear to hold the line.
In the cockpit, timing is everything. That’s why the Quad-Pulse movement doesn’t just keep up—it leads. With an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month, it outguns even the priciest automatics and certified chronometers. No drift. No margin for error. Just cold, relentless precision whether you're wheels up, wheels down, or deep off the grid. When your mission depends on the seconds, this is the kind of movement you want on your wrist.
The Type B Quad-Pulse is your wingman in the skies or on the ground—rugged, reliable, and ready the second it hits your wrist. With a high-precision quartz engine under the hood, it runs nonstop for two full years on a single battery. No winding. No downtime. No excuses. Whether it’s your daily flier or your backup in the field, it’s built to show up, gear up, and never tap out.
In the heat of a dogfight, every second counts. That’s why the original B-Uhr watches were all about legibility—and so is the Redwood Type B. The high-contrast dial puts bold minute numerals front and center, with inner hour markers for quick orientation. The sword-style hands echo cockpit gauges, built for fast reads under pressure. And the luminous-tipped seconds hand lets you verify movement at a glance—because when you're flying blind, even the smallest signal matters.
The original B-Uhr watches lit up the night with radium—effective, but dangerously radioactive. The Redwood Type B keeps the glow, loses the hazard. We’ve outfitted it with Super-LumiNova: a modern, non-radioactive pigment that charges in sunlight and burns bright green in the dark. From the sword hands to all 12 markers, every key detail is coated for clear visibility on night missions—no risks, just readiness.
The Redwood Type B takes its cues from the pilot watches of WW2—but tones it down for modern duty. While the original B-Uhr came in at a massive 55mm, ours lands at a wearable 42mm, perfect whether you’re flying solo or hitting the ground. The case is all stainless steel, all business—brushed to kill glare, drilled lugs for quick strap swaps, and a burly screw-down crown that’s easy to operate. No frills. No shortcuts. Just a field-ready tool built to take a beating.
The Type B’s flat sapphire glass is built for war zones—not display cases. Nearly as hard as diamond, it shrugs off scratches that would sideline lesser gear. Its low profile cuts reflections and resists snags, while heavy-duty seals and 1.8mm thickness keep it watertight under pressure. Whether you’re diving into danger or caught in the elements, your mission stays clearly in sight.
Back in the war-torn skies of the 1940s, a sealed case wasn’t optional—it was survival. The Redwood Type B carries that same spirit of battlefield toughness. With 100m (330ft) of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a tightly secured caseback, it’s built to withstand the elements. Dust, rain, mud—this watch doesn’t flinch. It’s ready for action, no matter the theater.
