FRENCH MILITARY WATCHES SEA AIR LAND MER AIR TERRE
FROM RAID TO THE US NAVAL AVIATION The story of MER AIR TERRE started in 2005 when the RAID (France s Federal Swat) made an order. Perfectly adapted to the very special needs of military professionals, these watches entirely satisfied these brave demanding men of honour. MATWATCHES (MER AIR TERRE / Sea Air Land) earned a legitimacy as they were worn on the field Impressed with the high quality of these watches that were exclusively designed for them, other unit requested their taylor-made series. More recently in 2013, the french Foreign Legion has officially entrusted MATWATCHES to develop a Limited Edition to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Camerone fight. (1863 2013) No details are left aside and once again dedication to quality and «members only» policy made them choose MATWATCHES. In 2015, the French watchmaker has developed a UTC flight instrument with and for the US Naval Aviation pilots. MATWATCHES has now stepped quietly into the civilian world keeping high up its standards of sturdiness, fonctionality and discretion.
