The Swiss brand said the plane's strategic purpose matched that of the timepiece: technical, user-powered precision.
The crank handle and screw-down bezel of each Urwerk SR-71 Blackbird watch has been made from a section of a plane that crashed in western Texas in June 1970.
To obtain the airplane parts, Urwerk partnered with Roman Sperl, an aerospace engineer, and Jason Sarkoyan, a watch designer and space travel enthusiast, who are the founders of Dreamland, a company that supplies aerospace parts.
