Call Sign Wright Brothers Watch Collection Review | Heritage Aviation Timepieces

Aviation watches usually borrow a look. Call Sign borrows a legacy. The brand formerly known as Bravo Golf has partnered with The Wright Brothers USA and the Wright family to create a limited series that feels authentically tied to Dayton’s first family of flight. The trio shares a common architecture and movement, yet each model carries its own story, engraving, and production run. Every watch ships in a custom Gerstner & Sons wooden presentation box made in Dayton, the same city where Orville favored Gerstner chests in his workshop, which is a brilliant way to package history with the hardware.

Under the hood is a Swiss Sellita SW331 automatic with a caller-style GMT complication, displayed through Call Sign’s crescent window that lets you check local and Zulu time at a glance. The case is 39 mm across, slim on the wrist at about 10.8 mm, and cut from 316L stainless steel with durable PVD finishes. X1 grade Super-LumiNova keeps the dial readable long after last light, and Horween leather straps round out the spec sheet with the right kind of American character.

Call Sign: The Brothers

The headliner honors Wilbur and Orville, and it does so with substance, not just branding. Flip it over and you get a finely rendered engraving of the Wrights’ hand-drawn wing-warping sketch, a small but meaningful nod to the control breakthrough that separated dreamers from flyers. It is the most democratic of the trio with a 200-piece run, and it reads as the purest tool watch of the set, practical and purposeful, the way a flight instrument should be.

Call Sign: The Katharine

Every great mission has a great fixer, and Katharine Wright was precisely that: a scholar, diplomat, and tireless advocate for her brothers. The Katharine edition carries an engraving of the 1905 Wright Flyer III on its caseback, a subtle reminder that history is a team sport. The rose-toned titanium-nitride PVD case adds a graceful note without going full jewelry, which makes this the connoisseur’s pick, quiet on the surface, rich in story.

Call Sign: The Bishop

Named for Milton Wright, the father whose curiosity set the tone, The Bishop is the rarest of the bunch and wears its golden titanium-nitride PVD case with just enough ceremony. The engraving shows the little Penaud helicopter toy that first sparked the brothers’ obsession, a reminder that big ideas often start with small machines. As the most limited run, this is the collector’s play, equal parts heirloom and conversation starter.

Common Language, Distinct Voices

All three share the same dial layout, that signature crescent GMT aperture, and the same Sellita heartbeat, so the decision comes down to the story you want to tell and the finish you want to wear. The Brothers is the mission patch, Katharine is the inside-baseball nod to the essential third Wright, and The Bishop is the origin myth in precious-metal tones. Each model ships in a handcrafted Gerstner & Sons wooden box, a tasteful bridge between the watch on your wrist and the Wright tools that once lived in Gerstner chests a few miles away. It is hard to imagine a better pairing for this collaboration.

Final approach

Call Sign did not just license a logo; it built a family of watches around the family that invented controlled flight. The brand itself has evolved, rebranding from Bravo Golf to Call Sign while keeping the pilot-first focus and sharpening its design language. This collection shows the maturity that move implies. If you like your watches with a readable GMT, honest proportions, and a story that can hold up in a hangar full of pilots, you have three strong options here. Add in that Dayton-made Gerstner box, and you are not just buying a watch; you are commissioning a small piece of American craft to go with it.
