With the endorsement of his family, this timepiece captures the spirit and legacy of the legendary F-14 pilot, Captain Dale "SNORT" Snodgrass. It celebrates his remarkable journey, from his prestigious tenure as the highest time Tomcat pilot with 5,000 hours in the F-14 to his fearless maneuvers, such as the iconic "banana pass." And the one phrase every NFO feared to hear "Watch This!"
His accolades include being named the "Fighter Pilot of the Year" in 1985, attending and instructing at TOPGUN, and leading combat missions in Operation Desert Storm. The "SNORT Signature Edition" is a tribute to a man who lived by the ethos of pushing boundaries and achieving excellence.
SNORT is the reason we make custom watches, he was our first customer, ambassador and advisor to SwissPL. Captain Snodgrass was instrumental in forging our deep connections within the military community.
Every detail, from the front-view F-14 silhouette to the Navy pilot Wings Of Gold to SNORT's signature, this timepiece is a testament to the deep respect for our friend.
In tribute to Captain Dale "SNORT" Snodgrass, whose final westward flight marked the end of an era in 2021, this timepiece embodies more than his legendary feats; it signifies the deep, personal impact he left on us and the aviation world. A true homage to his enduring legacy.
