Gavox squadron watch for Romanian Air Force

 A story of success in wonderful Romania.

Early this year I was contacted by a Romania F16 Pilot “Miklas” to create a Watch for their 1st F16 Fighting Squadron.

The 53rd Squadron pilots have been trained in Portugal for some time as the Romanian government decided to purchase Portugese F16 to replace the Mig 21 for they fleet.

Thanks to Jo.D. a Belgian F16 Pilot from the 350th Sqn who was in portugal at the time,  Miklas discovered that in Belgium, Gavox ,  a small Company was creating Pilot Tool Watches and even managed Limited series of Personalized watches. Gavox Already produced More that 14 different Limited Serie Watches for Specific Squadrons and Teams.
