Limited to 50 individually numbered pieces (ONLY 1 CONSIGNMENT PIECE IN INVENTORY)

 

 

The state of Montana has sent more than her fair share of brave men and women to honorably serve on battlefields around the world, but still remains the only state in the Union without a battleship namesake.   The Bozeman Watch Company is proud to set sail the state’s first; the “Montana Class Watch Collection’sU.S.S. Montana.  Only 50 of the individually-numbered certified Swiss chronometers exist worldwide.

 

This watch incorporates a newer and very robust movement that is 36.6 millimeters in diameter and that has a very fast winding mechanism which reaches full power quickly and maintains up to 48 hours of main spring reserve.  The U.S.S. Montana’s crisp white dial and Roman numerals are reminiscent of the classic era of timepiece aesthetic, and we’ve further removed the date window to more clearly draw on early American and Swiss watch influences.  Today, most any automatic mechanical watch has a date function, though it is a relatively new feature as most early American and Swiss mechanical watches did not have a date window.

 

Though it is an automatic mechanical watch and not a battleship, we are still honored to be able to show our appreciation to the troops, both past and present, for serving our country and its citizens.  It is with this U.S.S. Montana watch that the Bozeman Watch Company lends support to the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association and to date has donated over $7000 in support of the families of fallen soldiers.

We are an original watch manufacturer based in Bozeman, Montana USA.  Our Bozeman Watch Company original timepieces are sold exclusively through our company showrooms in Bozeman, Montana, Whitefish Montana and soon Jackson Hole Wyoming.   Our newest retail expansion our Jackson Hole Wyoming showroom,  will be open in the summer of 2011.  The Bozeman retail store and Whitefish retail store location showcase all mechanical watch models and information on our upcoming Montana watch collection.   These hand made watches are as rugged and refined as they are rare.  Each piece is developed first as a pencil illustration, then as the concept advances, engineering of the parts and watch data furthers the concept and soon follows the final 3 dimensional product images, ready for part prototyping and tooling in preparation of final manufacturing and assembly.  The exquisite mechanical movements in each model are built to specification during the design process which are made and assembled over a period of 18 to 25 months depending on complexity and modification.  These specialty movements are built by some of finest movement makers in the world. 

 

All models, which are limited from 10 to 150 individually, numbered pieces, are certified Chronometers by the Geneva, Switzerland based COSC (Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres).  Each movement that is built for Bozeman Watches undergoes 15 days of rigorous accuracy testing and regulation to gauranteed to be in tthe top 3% accuracy and the highest standards in the watch manufacturing industry today. The end result is timepieces with tried and tested mechanical watch expertise combined with the innovative spirit of American Watch making.

 

All models have additional information available which can be sent from our Bozeman retail showroom or Whitefish retail showroom.
