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.

Every aspect of the Rakkasan Edition design reflects the commitment to excellence this Regiment embodies. The textured matte black dial mimics the black beret with a laser etched design setting it apart from others. The 1, 8, and 7 match the Torii red and the raised Arabic numerals and railroad outer indices pay tribute to the original Dirty Dozen watches warn by the Allied Forces of WWII. Custom engraving options on the left bump out allow you to personalize your watch for the time you served in the Regiment. The 101st patch applied to the inside of the sapphire on caseback can’t ever be worn off and allows unobstructed view of the premium finished Swiss LJP G100 movement. The high end lume allows for easy viewing under all conditions and the extra thick raised sapphire crystal will protect the bezel finish.
