A WIS Watch Straps Partnership

Sortie Watches

British in design, Swiss in craftsmanship — now with more ways to wear it.

The Partnership

WIS Watch Straps is proud to partner with Sortie — bringing Italian leather, skin-safe rubber and sailcloth straps to the BH1000, so every Sortie can be worn exactly the way you want.

The Watches

Refined tool watches, inspired by British aviation.

Sortie's BH1000 collection reimagines the pilot's watch — a finely crafted 40mm stainless-steel case with a 20mm lug width, offered in three sunburst dials that celebrate the passion and pride of flight. Each is powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW290-1 automatic and rated to 150 metres.

The Heritage

A tribute to Biggin Hill.

The BH1000 pays tribute to the more than 1,000 sorties launched from RAF Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain. The name, the dials and the intent all point back to the cockpit — a modern pilot's watch built to carry that history forward.

The Collection

Three dials. One heritage.
