With the endorsement of his family, this timepiece captures the spirit and legacy of the legendary F-14 pilot, Captain Dale "SNORT" Snodgrass. It celebrates his remarkable journey, from his prestigious tenure as the highest time Tomcat pilot with 5,000 hours in the F-14 to his fearless maneuvers, such as the iconic "banana pass." And the one phrase every NFO feared to hear "Watch This!"

His accolades include being named the "Fighter Pilot of the Year" in 1985, attending and instructing at TOPGUN, and leading combat missions in Operation Desert Storm. The "SNORT Signature Edition" is a tribute to a man who lived by the ethos of pushing boundaries and achieving excellence.

SNORT is the reason we make custom watches, he was our first customer, ambassador and advisor to SwissPL. Captain Snodgrass was instrumental in forging our deep connections within the military community.

Every detail, from the front-view F-14 silhouette to the Navy pilot Wings Of Gold to SNORT's signature, this timepiece is a testament to the deep respect for our friend.

In tribute to Captain Dale "SNORT" Snodgrass, whose final westward flight marked the end of an era in 2021, this timepiece embodies more than his legendary feats; it signifies the deep, personal impact he left on us and the aviation world. A true homage to his enduring legacy.

You can choose from our stock caseback, which features our logo, or we can design a custom caseback for you for $250, which features your name / rank / callsign, squadron patches / unit emblems, planes / helicopters, or whatever you would like on it.

Here are some recent projects.



Your SwissPL watch is assembled and tested when ordered, and then gets packaged for shipping with the utmost of care in each detail.

The watch is secured inside a heat-sealed enclosure bag, so your hands are the first to touch your new watch.

Your watch will be sent with insured service, with tracking, which requires a signature for delivery.

Tell Your Story

Each timepiece is made to order, designed to reflect your milestones.

METAL BRACELET

The 22mm metal bracelet for the 42mm Classic watch is comprised of solid links and is secured to the watch with solid end-pieces. The links use screws, not pins, and the buckle is equipped with a safety clasp.

WATER DEPTH RATING

The Classic watch features a screw-down crown and caseback which seals the watch and enables a water depth rating of 300 meters (1,000 feet) and secures the inside of the watch from the elements.

MOVEMENT / ENGINE

The movement driving your timepiece is a Swiss engine. Power your watch with your choice of quartz-analog battery movement, included in base price, or upgrade to the automatic self-winding mechanical movement with 25 jewels (shown here).

CASE MATERIAL

The 316L steel material is ideally resistant to environmental corrosion and provides an optimum hypoallergenic function for contact with your skin. So regardless if you have a desk job, are engaged in covert spec-ops missions, or you’re just an avid sportsman, your timepiece will survive whatever you throw at it.

DIAL FABRICATION

The dial fabrication is done in-house; produced either in a metallic gold application, or in color using a traditional manual Swiss dial printing machine building up one color at a time to create the design. Your watch is handcrafted and made-to-order.

BEZEL RING

The watch uses a uni-directional bezel turning system with 4 bezel ring colors to choose from: black, blue, red and green.

Honor Your Journey

Your military career spans a lifetime of dedication and sacrifice, inherited from the men that came before, and passed on to those that follow. A proud tradition built on commitment and triumph, on honor and support.

This timepiece is a blend of style and function to encapsulate your heritage, and the milestones you achieved along the way.
