Crafted to honor the legendary pilot Major Brian Shul, the AeroGMT Sled Driver is a remarkable testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration and resilience. Featuring a cockpit-ready chronometer, this timepiece allows you to measure time across three geographical zones, making it the ideal companion for those daring to venture into the unknown.

  • Exceptional Visibility: Designed for ultimate readability, the watch is embedded with micro gas lights that ensure perfect 24-hour GMT readings even in absolute darkness, eliminating the need for charging.
  • Superior Durability: Equipped with a protective plate that shields the crown from external impacts, the AeroGMT Sled Driver withstands the most extreme conditions with unwavering precision and reliability.
  • Comfortable Wear: Our patented triple folding buckle ensures lasting strength and resistance, while the 22mm extension system and secure butterfly clasp offer an ergonomic fit, whether you're donning sportswear or a space suit.
  • A Tribute to SR-71 Blackbird: The titanium case back pays homage to the famed SR-71 Blackbird, known for its ability to withstand extreme heat and soar at unprecedented speeds. This timepiece mirrors the stealth, speed, and resilience of 'The Sled', setting a new standard in aviation technology.

Relishing the awe-inspiring story of Major Brian Shul, who overcame near-fatal injuries to fly the world's fastest and highest-flying aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird, this timepiece is more than just an accessory. It's a symbol of perseverance, resilience, and the fierce refusal to give up. Like Shul, who challenged all headwinds and charged endlessly forward, the AeroGMT Sled Driver is built to handle the most extreme conditions, enabling you to forge a strong identity.
