RAW Brand Spotlight: Reservoir Watch
, by RAW Singapore, 2 min reading time
In this RAW Brand Spotlight, we take a closer look at Reservoir Watch and highlight the models that are some of our favourites.
Reservoir Watch was added to Red Army Watches’ stable of brands in 2020. The watchmaking house is based in France and has seen its watches nominated in various GPHG categories. Here are three things to know about Reservoir Watch.
1. Swiss Made
Qualified watchmakers design, assemble and check the meticulously calibrated settings of Reservoir watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
2. It’s Complicated
Every Reservoir watch is powered by a 124-piece patented proprietary module on the reliable ETA2824-2 calibre. Each watch comes with the following complications: retrograde minutes, jumping hour and power reserve.
3. Vintage Measuring Instruments-Inspired
Reservoir Watch takes its inspiration from the functionalities and the aesthetic appeal of measurement instruments of days gone by.
There are three ranges of Reservoir Watch.
Aeronautics
Military aviation and its icons – including both the planes that achieved such cult status and the design of the aviation instruments – provide an inexhaustible source of inspiration for this range.
Our pick: Reservoir Airfight Titane
Why: We love the Airfight Titane for its titanium case with satin and polished finish. Coupled with the classic black dial with SuperLuminova indices, the Airfight Titane is a piece that can accompany us easily from work to a night out and even casual weekends.

Longbridge: 1960 – 1980 At the beginning of the 20th century, famous car manufacturers settled in Longbridge in England. Some of them had the genius to design cars capable of crossing time and eras.The Longbridge is dedicated to these cars.
