Our mission: To explain military stories through our watches.
Runing Project: Tribute watch E-2C HAWKEYE - "The last ride"
The watch project initiative comes from part of assigned personnel to the E-2C Hawkeye on one of the American aircraft carriers as a tribute after 5 decades before its retirement from service
Textual words of the project motivation – G.J. CLT USN, squadron VAW-123:
“We are currently on our final deployment with the E-2C, after more than 5 decades, and aviators are very fond of their watches.
So combining these two things, I figured I’d try and do a tribute watch, of types. Especially with this final deployment being as dynamic as it’s been, with the ongoing Red Sea Crisis, and the parallel Operation Prosperity Guardian.”
About The Squadron VAW-123
The squadron VAW 123 was established in April, 1967, and first flew the E-2C in 1973
While flying the E-2C, the squadron VAW-123 has supported operations around the globe, and from Desert Shield/Desert Storm to Operation Prairie Fire all of the way to the current Operation Prosperity Guardian
