John Moore-Brabazon, the 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara, was renowned for many duties and accomplishments during his life. Besides his parliamentary ambitions, Moore also showed a keen interest in aviation, highlighting himself as a pioneer of British aviation during the early 20th century. His commitment and drive saw him pilot the first flying apparatus considered heavier than air in 1909, which is why the Limited Edition Swan & Edgar Hand Assembled Moore In Flight Automatic Silver Navy men’s watch celebrates his legacy.
Adhering to Moore’s careful engineering precision, the 163 Part 20 Jewel Hand Assembled Automatic Movement recognises his stunning achievement that the modern world takes for granted. The navy-blue dial is detailed with navigational gridding, while the Minutes, Day, Date and Month counter offer further aviation details. The luminous hands reference the glittering lofty heights that inspired Moore’s desire to take flight.
The twilight-blue leather bracelet is detailed with a Flying Corps-style stud, referencing Moore’s military career. This is complemented by the steel IP case and Swan & Edgar logo-engraved stainless steel caseback that strives to cement Moore’s contribution to aviation.

Condition
All watches are categorised as brand new, preloved and so on. Vintage watches are shown as they are. For new watches we use some manufacturers' promotional pictures, but any limited edition numbers shown are those of the actual watch.
What we do and don't do
Each watch is fully inspected and is working as it should: hands turn freely, the date changes where fitted, and the watch winds. To bring you great prices we do not service every watch, and we recommend you do so regularly to keep it in good working order.
We bench test each watch for timekeeping and accept a tolerance of two minutes either way. If you have any concerns we are happy to send you a TIMEGRAPH reading with a picture of your watch in test. Some of the more expensive watches have been serviced by third party specialists, and where that is the case the service record is supplied with the watch and shown on the product page.
Watches are not tested for functionality and timekeeping over longer periods of time. For this reason, long-term performance is excluded from our warranty once the returns window has closed. This does not affect your statutory rights.
We aim to supply vintage watches in the best possible condition, but some wear must be expected due to age. This is shown in the pictures supplied. Please ask if you would like more pictures of any particular feature.
