Jerrie Cobb Solar - JC01
Note: All of our watches are built and shipped from the UK, and so are subject to a tariff of 10% on shipments to the USA. We pay this tariff as we ship, so US customers won’t receive any unexpected fees on delivery. In other words, the price you see and pay at checkout is the price you pay for the watch, nothing more.
Jerrie Cobb Solar ‒ JC01
A tribute to courage, a companion powered by light. The JC01 honours Jerrie Cobb — pioneer aviator, record-breaker, and one of the original Gemini astronaut trainees — with a watch that is as forward-looking as her legacy.
Powered by the Stars
Harnessing the sun’s energy, the JC01 uses a Seiko AS01 solar movement, converting daylight into precision, with a power reserve of approximately four months once fully charged. No battery changes, just perpetual motion.
