The Milus Snow Star Heritage has history. The original watch was included in the US Navy’s “life barter kits” given to US Navy pilots in the 1940s as currency should they be forced to land in unfamiliar territory.

On 10 October 2012, the rebuilt Snow Star Heritage was ceremoniously unveiled in Hong Kong. The event began with a short film followed by the presentation of a vintage “life barter kit” by a presenter in 1940s pilot garb.

Guests were then invited to appraise and try on the new Snow Star Heritage timepieces, which come with aviation-themed cufflinks.
