NB Yeager Turbulence

NB Yeager Turbulence automatic wristwatch. The Turbulence refers to and mimics technical instruments found in aircraft.

For aircraft and wristwatch enthusiasts though, the functions add a very unique looking and attractive novelty to the everyday wristwatch, which in itself is an reflection on the enthusiasms, interests or even the desired aspirations of the person who wears the watch.
