Bausele Airfield Limited Watch Air Force 100
A beautiful watch; everything I had hoped for in look and feel.
This collector's timepiece, limited to 500 watches, is offered in 3 colourways and includes a limited-edition keyring incorporating an actual piece cut from the Caribou (DC-4) aircraft #208.
The Airfield watch was designed in collaboration with the Australian Air Force, taking inspiration from the official issue RAAF Pilot watches from the 1940s and 1950s, previously commissioned by Jaeger LeCoultre and IWC. The trusted Caribou is embossed on the case back of this designer automatic watch.

BUILT TO LAST
The unisex designed watch case is made of surgical grade 316L stainless steel.
The Sapphire crystal face can't be scratched or broken.
CLEAR DIAL DESIGN
The clean look of the dial with "syringe" hands makes it easy to quickly read the time. The hands have super-luminova to glow when its dark. The Centenary logo makes it exclusive and unique. The second-hand reflects shape of the Caribou as a counter-weight.
HISTORIC CASE BACK
The watch back has been embossed with the outline of the Caribou Aircraft. Features the Broad Arrow next to the limited-edition number. Each watch is individually numbered.
AUST
A beautiful watch; everything I had hoped for in look and feel.
The watch itself is fine, perhaps a bit lighter than I had expected, but the strap is too large for my wrist. Bausele are unable to provide a beige one in a smaller size and the recycled PVC straps cannot have extra holes punched in them. They can offer a blue or black NATO strap but that would not suit the watch. They seemed quite content to tell me I'm not the only one in this position but they showed no interest in finding a suitable resolution. Very disappointing attitude.

The presentation and packaging are high quality. The watch looks good. I’m not really happy about two aspects. The watch does not last 40 hours if not worn. Mine will stop within a day if not worn. The claimed illumination of the watch face numerals just don’t work. Not sure what’s wrong there. Those two aspects did disappoint me. Overall a still consider it a reasonable collectable watch.
I have sent in an email to request a refund as the watch band is too big for my wrist even on the smallest hole. In retrospect there should have been an option for female or male size wristbands. I am unable to wear the watch as it does not fit which is extremely disappointing.
Thanks
