With a dial from a C-47 Skytrain that paradropped troops on D-Day, the C-47 D-Day Aluminum Patina was made to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6th 2024.

Due to the origin of the dial (taken from a C-47 Hamburger door) each watch will offer a unique patina & scratch pattern. We've separated the dials into two distinct categories: Low Wear & Tear and, High Wear & Tear. As the name suggest, these two categories are meant to give you the choice as to the level of scratching you want from your C-47 Skytrain A-11.

For the indexes, we've used Swiss Super-Luminova and an extra-thick print for added volume ensuring high visibility in all conditions; especially as the aluminum can in certain conditions be quite shiny. The index style is taken directly from the markings painted on the fuselage of C-47s during D-Day.  

We've also worked on a NATO Strap that bears the infamous "invasion stripes" - these stripes were meant to identify all the planes that would fly above the skies of Normandy during landing operations.

Meant to commemorate the 60,000+ Airborne troops that landed in Normandy for D-Day operations, the C-47 Skytrain A-11 bears the markings of a plane that lived through WW2 and has since been restored.

Watches.com will cover the cost for Standard International Mail* (orders over $249+) and Standard Domestic Mail (orders over $100+). Not all countries are eligible for free international shipping. Upgraded shipping options (estimated transit times and rates) will be quoted during checkout. 

Watches.com has been shipping worldwide since 1999 and we ship internationally daily. Most orders are processed and shipped out by 5pm (MST) Monday through Friday on regular business days. Payment/fraud verification is typically instantaneous, but in some instances may take up to 48 hours. Orders placed/received after 12:00pm (MST) will be processed the next business day. Please be aware that UPS does not deliver on weekends.

Because customs fees vary by country, we do not collect duties during checkout. If duties are due, your customs agency will let you know when the package arrives in your country. It is your responsibility to pay these fees to your country.

Once items are shipped, liability is covered by the terms of the carrier. We will ship to the address specified by the customer. If you did not provide us with an accurate address, neither Watches.com, nor the shipping carrier can be held responsible for the loss of an item. Please double check your shipping address. Any shipping damage must be reported to Watches.com within 48 hours of delivery, otherwise it is ineligible for any insurance or refund claims.

Note:  Per Casio's policy, Casio and G-Shock watches are not eligible for International Shipping.  Any international order containing a Casio or G-Shock watch will be cancelled and all monies refunded.

We could all use some extra time. If your new, unworn item is not 100% to your satisfaction, you have 30 days from the original ship date to return it. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused, unworn and in the same condition that you received it (including any protective stickers still on it). It must also be in the original packaging. More details can be found on our Returns page.  **Unfortunately Mystery watches are final sale and only eligible for return for store credit; a small restocking fee applies to these returns.

Warranty periods range from 12 months to lifetime, depending on the brand. All of the brands we carry come with their international manufacturer warranty.* All warranty issues are to be handled directly with the watch manufacturer, so be sure to keep your electronic invoice for proof of purchase from Watches.com as we're an authorized retailer. Contact the brand directly using the information in your warranty booklet or the manufacturer's website for complete warranty terms and repair instructions. Typically the manufacturer's warranty does not cover: battery, crystal, strap or bracelet; damage resulting from improper handling, lack of care, accidents or normal wear and tear; damage from contact with objects; water damage.
