INTRODUCING A NEW DIAL TO OUR SIF NART 1948 COLLECTION

We are happy to introduce a new colour to our collection of Sif NART 1948 watches. A watch that was made in honour of the Icelandic Coast Guard patrolling the North Atlantic seas for over 60 years.

It was in the year 1948 right after the second world war when the Coast Guard leased an aircraft from local airlines to patrol the fishing grounds just off the coast. This aircraft was an Grumman Goose American flight boat which had the registration name TF-ISR and was used to patrol the Icelandic seas in the beginning of the Cod War in 1948 when the Icelandic Coast Guard fought the Royal Navy over fishing in Icelandic waters. This was the start of the Coast Guard's Aeronautical Division.

Sif NART 1948 with matte white pilot style dial, black luminous Arabic numerals and indexes in Super-LumiNova, date display at three o'clock and rhodium plated hands with black luminous Super-LumiNova. Handcrafted brown Italian leather strap with quick release spring bars. Water resistant to a depth of 1000 meters. The watch is modestly proportioned in a 40 mm brushed steel case made from the finest German surgical grade Stainless Steel "316L" with Anti Reflective Sapphire Crystal and a Swiss Made Mechanical movement “Execution Top” with Automatic winding, 25 jewels, 40 hour power reserve, Custom decorations, Blue screws and Rhodium plated finish.
