British luxury watch brand Bremont's new pilot's watch, the EP120, is made with parts of a famous RAF 1942 Spitfire Mk V fighter plane which shot down six enemy aircraft on a single day during WWII. Original pieces of the Spitfire, which has been featured in films such as The Battle of Britain, salvaged during restoration, are incorporated into the EP120's dial and movement. The limited edition timepiece, which has already been spotted on the wrists of Bremont fans like Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGregor, costs about $12,600 and will be available in September.

This is a really interesting watch, reminds me of the watch that was made from pieces of the titanic. Definitely a little over the top, much prefer the older Breitling pilots watches like this old chronomat:

no matter how much it cost to keep track, time is constant and merciless ... I know ... I will be 80 next month and no timepiece -- fancy or cheap -- can change that!!!
