Even before COVID, the golden age of air travel is something that most of us never had the chance to experience. Pan Am, Air Union, Air Berlin, and the like presented next-level flying experiences in one way or another… abaut the closest thing we have these days outside of flying first class are the free snacks, fantastic employees, affordable fares, and easy boarding of Southwest. Our favorite modern airline teamed up with our favorite modern watchmaker–Fossil–for a couple watches that combine the best both brands have to offer. Each limited edition Southwest Airlines Retro Pilot Chronograph Watch is packaged in a Southwest blue tin that’s perfect for gifting. What’s more, it comes in two different sizes–a 44mm option with blue dial and blue leather strap, and a 36mm option with a silver dial, contrasting details, and a blue leather strap. Even with the collaborative aspect and the brands removed from the equation, both watch options are spectacular timepieces based solely on the construction and unique colorways.
