Parts of this Blackbird-themed watch are made from a real SR-71.

Both the winding crank and bezel surrounding the time-telling dials on Urwerk’s EMC SR-71 are made of a titanium alloy sourced from the fuselage of the spy plane.

The mechanical watch also features an optical sensor measuring the accuracy of its timekeeping and its precision can be manually adjusted. Just 10 are being made, and they’ll sell for over $175,000 each.
