The Darby Edition is where Ridgeline Timepieces began.
Designed from the ground up as the inaugural watch for the 75th Ranger Regiment, the Darby Edition was built with one purpose: to be worn only by those who have earned the right. Named in honor of Brigadier General William O. Darby — founder of the modern Army Rangers — this timepiece carries the weight of that legacy in every detail.
Crafted from premium materials to the same exacting standards as every Ridgeline watch, the Darby Edition is built for the demands of Ranger life — rugged enough for the field, refined enough for any occasion. This is not a watch for everyone. It was never meant to be.
The Rakkasans Edition is the first official 101st Airborne Division Unit Watch from Ridgeline Timepieces — a premium timepiece honoring one of the most storied airborne regiments in military history.
The name “Rakkasan” comes from the Japanese word rakka-san, meaning “falling umbrella” — a term coined by Japanese forces to describe U.S. paratroopers during World War II. That legacy of airborne excellence lives on in every detail of this watch, crafted to the same uncompromising standards as every Ridgeline timepiece.
Only 100 of these limited edition watches will ever be made, ensuring this is a true collector’s piece for veterans, active duty soldiers, and only those who have served in the Rakkasans. Pre-order now with a 35% fully refundable deposit — a minimum of 25 pre-orders is required to go into production.
