Very limited. Once a source of reclaimed metal is exhausted, that series of watches will never be produced again. Each collection is individually numbered and represents a fixed piece of history.
Once a material source is gone, it’s gone forever. Sopwith watches are naturally scarce, ensuring the value and story of each one remain unmatched.
Sopwith watch cases are created from a finite supply of extraordinarily rare metals. Each edition is limited not by a marketing plan, but by the simple reality that historic metals are in very short supply.
Each Sopwith Aero Marquis watch is powered by an Automatic, bidirectional rotor Mecaline Specialities Calibre 2893-A2 Élaboré, ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse, Grenchen, Switzerland Power reserve, 42 hours Frequency, 28,800 bph 21 jewels. Known for precision and longevity, these movements complement the strength and history of our cases.
Yes. Sopwith watches are built to last for generations.
Watch Case Warranty – Forever
Sopwith watch cases are guaranteed forever against manufacturing and workmanship defects, cracking, breaking, lug failure, or structural damage to the steel, as determined by Sopwith Watch Company. Cosmetic wear and surface scratches from normal use are not covered.
To submit a claim, send the complete watch to Sopwith Watch Company with a brief description of the issue. If a replacement case is needed, it will be provided free of charge, including re-assembly.
Because our historic steel is finite, Sopwith may at its discretion substitute the case with one made from the steel of a different vehicle or aircraft, or replace the model entirely.
All Other Parts – 1 Year
All other components are covered for one year against manufacturing defects, excluding wear from normal use, accidental damage, water infiltration, or unauthorized repair.
Yes. Each Sopwith is built with the strength and resilience of its heritage. While every piece is a collector’s item, it’s also designed to function as a precision instrument for daily use.
Pre-sales open on November 17, 2025. Each production run will use a specific quantity of historic metal, resulting in a very limited release.
Until all allocations are reserved. Once every case has been claimed, pre-orders close.
Our first watches will begin shipping in Spring 2026. Every Sopwith goes through months of careful craftsmanship, inspection, and testing before it leaves our workshop.
Once pre-sales open, reservations can be made directly through our website. Watches are secured on a first-come basis. When this allocation sells out, no additional pieces will be made from this metal.
You’ll receive updates throughout the entire process. Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a confirmation. We’ll also send updates when we have an exact date that your watch will ship, and a tracking number when it’s on it’s way.
Because Sopwith watches are created in extremely limited numbers, we recommend joining our wait list, and purchasing when the watch you’d like is made available.
Sopwith Watch Company secures historic steel in small lots from around the world – California, Belgium, Pennsylvania, Ireland, North Carolina, Latvia, France, Germany among other locations. Each piece is personally acquired by the company founder and brought back to Sopwith headquarters in Indianapolis, one pound at a time and one piece at a time.
When you find a Sopwith watch that warms your heart, acquire it immediately because there is no artificial scarcity being created. We simply can’t make any more.
