A KOMPAS in your colours.
We work with squadrons, clubs, companies and organisations to create a version of the KOMPAS field watch that carries their colours, crest and story.
For groups with something to mark.
-
Squadrons, regiments and units
A watch for the people who served together, in the colours of the unit.
-
Flying clubs and associations
A shared piece for members, built around a dial with aviation history in it.
-
Companies
Team gifts, milestones, retirements and client gifts that people keep and wear.
-
Events and anniversaries
A founding date, a reunion or a centenary, recorded on the caseback.
Options we can explore.
What is possible depends on quantity. Some changes are simple. Others need a larger run. We'll tell you plainly which is which.
Dial colour
The dial base and the colours of the 12 sector triangles, matched to your colours.
Crest or logo
Your crest or logo on the dial or the caseback. Supplied by you. You must own the rights or have permission to use it.

Names, dates, mottos or a short line that means something to your group.
Strap colours

A dial with a story that fits.
Inspired by the sector clock of 1940
The dial is split into 12 triangles of five minutes each, after the sector clocks in RAF Fighter Command operations rooms. It is a natural fit for aviation and service organisations.
Designed in Great Britain
Designed in Great Britain, with a Japanese Miyota movement and assembled in Hong Kong.
Built to be worn every day
39 mm steel case, Miyota 9039 automatic, sapphire crystal, 100 m water resistance and Swiss Super-LumiNova.
2-year warranty
Every commissioned watch carries the same 2-year international warranty as the standard KOMPAS.
The RAF sector clock is historical inspiration for the dial. KOMPAS has no affiliation with the Royal Air Force.
Common questions.
What is the minimum order?
It depends on what you'd like to change. Engraving and straps are simpler. Dial changes involve more set-up. We'll confirm the minimum for your options in the proposal.
How long does a commission take?
Lead times depend on the options and the quantity. We'll confirm the timing in your proposal. If you have a fixed date, such as an anniversary, tell us in your first email.
Can you put our crest or logo on the watch?
Yes, on the dial or the caseback. Please send it as a vector file, such as SVG, PDF or AI. You must own the rights to it or have permission to use it, and we may ask you to confirm this.
Can I order a single engraved watch?
That is a different, simpler request. Email contact@kompaswatches.com with what you have in mind and we'll tell you what is possible.
How much does a commission cost?
The standard KOMPAS field watch is £535. The price of a commission depends on the quantity and options, and is set out in your proposal.
