“I’m excited to be partnering with Bausele, the first company to be commissioned to design watches for the Air Force in Australia for 70 years. Commemorating the RAAF Centenary this year is something we have in common and the two watches they have produced are a fitting tribute, as well as being unique timepieces” – Matt Hall

Matt Hall’s affiliation with the Royal Australian Air Force, being a former fighter pilot, naturally drew him to the Australian-designed watches featuring a piece of an actual fighter jet F/A-18 and a tribute to the trusted Caribou used for decades by the Air Force. Aptly named the Aviator and the Airfield they are true collector’s pieces honoring 100 years of the Royal Australian Air Force in March 2021. By purchasing a RAAF watch, each customer is supporting the restoration and preservation of historic RAAF aircraft.
