Story & Heritage

Aviation watches have always occupied a special place in horology.

Born from the demanding needs of pilots, these watches were designed with one core purpose: immediate readability under all conditions. Large numerals, clear contrast, strong lume, and robust construction became the defining traits of true pilot instruments.

RAID embraces this philosophy with the Overlord.

Inspired by classic flight instruments and military cockpit gauges, the watch delivers a pure aviation aesthetic while incorporating modern materials such as sapphire crystal, stainless steel construction, and a reliable Swiss automatic movement.

The name Overlord evokes strength, precision, and command—qualities reflected in the watch’s bold design language.

What makes this model especially attractive is its balance between rugged functionality and modern wearability. It feels purposeful and technical, yet refined enough for daily use.

For collectors who appreciate aviation history, cockpit-inspired design, and dependable Swiss mechanics, this RAID Overlord represents a compelling and distinctive addition to any collection.

A bold Swiss-made pilot watch with excellent presence and strong character.
