A Historic Number

1776 Is More Than the Edition Number

The year 1776 sits at the centre of the entire Minuteman story.

It represents the year of the Declaration of Independence and, for this extraordinary edition, it also determines the complete worldwide production.

TSAR BOMBA will produce only 1,776 Minuteman watches, creating a direct connection between the historical event being commemorated and the number of physical watches available.

1776 → 2026
250 Years.
1,776 Watches.

The Commemorative Dial

American History Written Into the Watch

Look closely at the TB8218R and the dial begins to tell its story.

Text from the Declaration of Independence forms part of the backdrop, while a raised American eagle spreads its wings across the composition.

Beneath it sits the Liberty Bell, accompanied by sweeping red, white and blue elements that give the dial depth, movement and unmistakable American character.

Not simply decorated for an anniversary.
Designed around its history.

Born From Old Ironsides

Genuine USS Constitution Oak

Turn the Minuteman over and the historical story becomes even more remarkable.

The caseback features an engraved Minuteman, representing the colonial militia remembered for being prepared to respond at a moment's notice.

But at its centre sits something far more unusual than commemorative artwork.

A genuine piece of oak connected to the historic USS Constitution.

Launched in 1797, the USS Constitution became one of America's most celebrated naval vessels and earned the legendary nickname “Old Ironsides.”

TSAR BOMBA states that every Minuteman Edition caseback contains genuine oak from the famed vessel.

The Minuteman doesn't merely depict history.
It carries a physical connection to it.

Individually Numbered

Your Place Within the 1,776

Every TSAR BOMBA Minuteman is individually numbered within the complete worldwide production of 1,776 pieces.

The individual edition number is engraved into the caseback, permanently identifying that watch within the limited production.

One Watch. One Number.

No two collectors can own the same individual Minuteman edition number.

2026 happens once.
America's 250th Anniversary happens once.
This production is limited to 1,776.

Collector Edition

What Makes the Minuteman Different?

A meaningful limited edition requires more than a special colour or the words “Limited Edition” printed on a dial.

The Minuteman brings together several qualities collectors traditionally value: defined production, individual numbering, historical context, distinctive provenance and mechanical watchmaking.

✓ Exactly 1,776 watches worldwide

✓ Every watch individually numbered

✓ Designed specifically around the 1776–2026 milestone

✓ Declaration of Independence-inspired dial

✓ American eagle, Liberty Bell & historical symbolism

✓ Complete interchangeable red, white & blue kit

Collector Perspective

A Limited Edition With a Defined Story

No retailer can responsibly guarantee that a watch will increase in financial value, and the Minuteman should not be purchased on that assumption.

What makes it particularly interesting from a collector's perspective is the combination of fixed production, individual numbering, historical material, mechanical watchmaking and a design created specifically around a once-only 250th Anniversary milestone.

Whether worn, displayed or preserved in a collection,
its identity remains permanently tied to 1776 → 2026.
