The Belgian watch designer Ronald Steffen was born in Zug, near the heart of the Swiss watch industry. He studied photography and graphic

design at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium.

He is also the founder of the exclusive Swiss made brand STEFFEN (WWW.STEFFEN.BE). Passionate about aviation and specifically military aircraft, he designed the unique RSC (Ronald Steffen

Creations) collection, with the aura of these nostalgic times.

The result is this unique watch collection, designed with an eye for detail. The back of the watches are engraved with a beautiful etching

of the airplane and presented in an original RSC watchbox.

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-

range, single (or two)-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during

World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. From late 1943,

P-51Bs were used by the USAAF’s Eighth Air Force to escort

bombers in raids over Germany, while the RAF’s 2 TAF and the

USAAF’s Ninth Air Force used the Merlin-powered Mustangs as

fighter-bombers, roles in which the Mustang helped ensure Allied

air superiority in 1944. The P-51 was also in service with Allied

air forces in the North African, Mediterranean and Italian theaters.

During World War II, Mustang pilots claimed 4,950 enemy aircraft

shot down.
