Historians may quibble, but the future began in the middle of the California desert in 1947. It was here, at Rogers Dry Lake, that the hero of our story broke the sound barrier for the first time ever.
The night before this momentous flight, our hero was thrown from his horse, breaking two ribs. But he didn’t let that stop his date with destiny. Knowing that he’d probably be replaced as the pilot for the experimental flight if he told his higher-ups, our hero had his ribs taped by a civilian doctor. The rest, as they say, is history, and this legendary ace will forever be known as the pilot who flew faster and harder than any man before him.
Inspired by the pilot with all the right stuff, we give you the Stauer Men’s Rogers Chronograph. With its precision chronograph movement and retro look that recalls the best elements of mid-century design, the Rogers is the kind of watch that inspires men to make history.
Straighten up, fly right and make your own date with destiny today.
