Micromilspec looks back at its first custom project, the MK43, which was created to honor the retirement of the Sea King helicopter. This exclusive timepiece was crafted specifically for members of the 330 Squadron of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The watch shares its name with the MK43 helicopter model, recognizing its long service in both military and civil operations. The MK43 project was delivered in 2020 and consisted of 330 numbered timepieces, matching the squadron's designation. While the model remains a restricted release for service members, the brand highlights it as the foundation of their custom military watchmaking heritage. Additionally, Micromilspec founder Henrik Rye recently appeared on Monocle Radio to discuss the brand's unique approach to custom watchmaking. The interview, hosted by Tom Edwards at Midori House in London, provides further insight into the craft and history behind their specialized military projects.
