2-YEAR WARRANTY
In 1948, the British Ministry of Defence introduced the Mk 11, a highly precise and dependable timepiece suitable for military aircraft navigation. Built to strict 6B/346 specifications, it became the gold standard for pilot watches, renowned for its water-resistant case, hacking seconds, and legibility that left nothing to chance. To aircrew aboard Avro high-altitude strategic bombers, it was more than a tool; it was “the crew member made of metal.”
The Redwood Vulcan carries that spirit forward. Drawing from the legendary RAF design, it features the same clean symmetry, high-accuracy and no-nonsense utility. Re-engineered with a modern smooth-sweeping movement, it bridges past and present; a watch built not for display, but for duty. A descendant of history’s most capable pilot’s watch, ready for a new generation of explorers and aviators.
At the heart of the Vulcan Quad-Pulse beats the Seiko VH31—a movement that brings the best of both worlds. With its smooth sweeping seconds hand ticking four times per second, it has the visual rhythm of an automatic, minus the maintenance. No winding, no adjustments. Fewer moving parts mean greater reliability, especially in the field. It’s the kind of movement you want when failure isn’t an option.

BOMBER PILOT WATCH FROM 1948:
THE VULCAN QUAD-PULSE
Heritage-Inspired. Aircraft-Tough. Adventure-Proven.
A Modern Tribute to an RAF Legend.
From the Skies of 1948. Built for Today.

Smooth Seconds. Hard Missions.
THE QUAD-PULSE MOVEMENT
Mechanical Feel. Quartz Tough.
In a mission, hesitation is the enemy. The Vulcan Quad-Pulse is powered by the Seiko VH31, a movement built to keep pace with the sky. Its sweeping seconds hand ticks four times per second, delivering the rhythm of a mechanical watch without the fuss: no winding, no tinkering. Fewer parts, rock-solid quartz reliability, and precision you can trust when you’re venturing into the unknown. This is a movement that stands the line, so you can, too.
Uncompromising Accuracy
In the cockpit, every second counts. The Quad-Pulse doesn’t follow, it sets the pace. Accurate to ±15 seconds per month, it outperforms even the finest automatics and certified chronometers. No drift. No compromise. Just relentless, uncompromising precision, whether you’re climbing to altitude, navigating the skies, or deep off the grid. When the mission depends on the seconds, this is the movement you trust on your wrist.
Built to Outlast
The Vulcan Quad-Pulse is the wingman you can count on; on the ground or in the air. Rugged, precise, and ready the instant it’s on your wrist. Its high-precision quartz engine runs nonstop for two years on a single battery. Always reliable. Always on. No excuses. Whether it’s your daily watch or your backup in the field, it’s built to show up, gear up, and never quit.
Clarity That Commands
Legible Under Fire
In the heat of a mission, clarity is life. The Vulcan carries forward the Mk 11’s uncompromising legibility. Bold hour numerals stand front and center, while the iconic triangle at 12 o’clock ensures instant orientation. Pencil-style hands mirror cockpit gauges for lightning-fast reads under pressure. A high-visibility seconds hand keeps you aware of every tick. Because when the world goes dark, every signal counts.
Mission Bright
The Vulcan lights up the night without compromise. Where the Mk 11 relied on radium, we use Super-LumiNova: a safe, high-performance pigment that charges in sunlight and glows green in the dark. Every hand, every marker, every critical detail is coated for instant visibility. When darkness falls, clarity saves the mission.
Rugged. Ready. Resilient.
Engineered for Duty
The Vulcan takes cues from post-war pilot watches but adapts for modern duty. At 42mm, it’s the perfect balance for solo flights or ground missions. All stainless steel, brushed to kill glare, drilled lugs for fast strap swaps, and a burly screw-down crown built for quick, sure operation. Optional PVD coating turns it fully stealth. No frills. No shortcuts. Just a tool built to take a beating.
Protected Under Pressure
Flat sapphire glass tough enough for war zones, not display cases. Nearly as hard as diamond, it shrugs off scratches that would sideline lesser gear. Low-profile design cuts reflections and resists snags, while heavy-duty seals and 1.8mm thickness keep it watertight. Whether diving into danger or facing the elements, your mission stays in sight.
All-Terrain Tough
Sealed cases weren’t optional for pilots in the 1950s. They were survival. The Vulcan carries that same battlefield spirit. With 100m (330ft) water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a tightly secured caseback, it withstands dust, rain, mud, and every element you throw at it. This watch doesn’t flinch. It’s built for action, wherever the mission takes you.
