時計メーカーのCol&MacArthurは、第2次世界大戦のノルマンディー上陸作戦を記念する特別な腕時計を作りました。
Col&MacArthur, a watchmaker, created a special watch to commemorate the Normandy landings during World War II.
。
This watch uses metal from M-1 helmets worn by American soldiers and sand from the beaches of Normandy.
。
The metal recovered from the steel helmets is collected in Texas, USA, and then processed into watch dials at a workshop in Belgium.
。
Furthermore, the watch strap is made from the same fabric that was used for military bags at the time.
。
There is a small capsule in this watch that contains sand from the beaches of Normandy.
。
However, in France, taking sand from the beach is prohibited by law, so a special permit is required.
。
The design of the watch also includes maps of places such as Omaha Beach.
。
There are two versions of this watch: the high-end model, Legacy, uses a Swiss-made movement, while the other model uses a Japanese-made movement.
。
The prices of the two versions are also different.
。
The chairman of Col&MacArthur said, This watch is not just for telling the time, but for feeling history.
。
When manufacturing watches, they always cherish the memories of war and respect for history.
