Collaboratively designed
between Formotion's innovative design team and legendary
custom bike builder Matt Hotch, the Holloman has become the
first watch of its kind that shares design details with a
legend like Matt and a legendary land speed record (The sled
obtained a velocity of 9,465 feet per second or 6,453 miles
per hour) at the
Holloman AFB sled track. Stout design lines, cool
details and built like a fine custom bike - everything is
exactly where it should be, and like Matt's bikes, nothing
but the best quality materials and components; it's the only
way Matt would put his name on it! If you can't afford
a $250,000 Matt Hotch bike, (damn it), then get this
inspired watch at least!

Unmatched quality and design using
only the best materials and movements make this Formotion's
premier Professional Chronograph. Able to measure time
increments as little as 1/100th of a second and to travel depths
down to 100 meters - makes this a watch that can go everywhere
with you. The Roadrunner Rocket inspired case from the
Holloman AFB sled project is 42mm in diameter and 11mm thick!
At 7.2 ounces, the Holloman drips with 316L Stainless Steel.
7.2 Ounces
of Solid Stainless Steel ...
316L Stainless and an Miyota
OS90 Professional Chronograph Movement guarantee this watch will
be treasured for many years to come - even under extreme working
conditions - above or below the surface.
Super LumiNova™
treatment on the pointers and hour markers ensure that the watch
can be read in even the darkest conditions.
The Holloman 846TS has a Miyota (Citizen) OS90 movement (the top
movement Citizen makes in their professional chronograph line)
housed in an extraordinary stainless steel case. The
diameter is 42mm and the height is 11mm with an anti reflective
sapphire coated crystal lens.
Solid Stainless Steel Hex Key
Band is indestructible and easily adjusts with two
included Hex Keys.
The bracelet must be seen to be
understood; it is made of solid stainless and is held
together by dozens of socket head screws. The back case
cover is held in place with no fewer than 6 Allen screws. We promise
you'll feel the quality and understand our passion for this
watch the moment you hold one in your hand or wear one on your
wrist.
 
Water resistance to 100m;
anti-magnetic to 6,000A/m and shock resistant - withstanding a
1000G's shock test - makes it virtually indestructible.
Able to keep accurate time to depths of 330 feet and in
temperatures as low as 40 degrees below zero, this watch is one
that any extreme motorsport enthusiasts worldwide will love to
own. And not just for its indestructibility, but for it's
brooding attitude,
impressive footprint and stout mechanical lines.

World Record
Set at the
Holloman
High Speed
Test Track
The Air
Force’s
846th Test
Squadron
conducted a
world record
rocket sled
test on the
Holloman
High Speed
Test Track (HHSTT)
at 0033 on
30 April 03.
The sled
obtained a
velocity of
9,465 feet
per second
or 6,453
miles per
hour,
delivering a
192-lb.
payload into
a target.
The test
culminated
the
Hypersonic
Upgrade
Program (HUP)
which began
in 1998. The
HUP
significantly
increased
the
capabilities
at the HHSTT
to meet a
variety of
hypersonic
test needs
for the
Department
of Defense.
The test
demonstrated
improvements
in rocket
sled design,
rail
alignment,
rocket
propulsion,
and modeling
and
simulation.
These new
capabilities
will be used
on an
upcoming
missile
defense
warhead test
program. The
HHSTT is the
only ground
test
facility
capable of
achieving
the
speed/payload
combinations
necessary to
simulate
full-scale
intercepts
of missile
defense
systems. The
previous
world record
of 8,974
feet per
second, or
6,119 miles
per hour,
with a
25-lb.
payload was
also set at
the HHSTT 5
October1982.
The sled was
propelled by
a four-stage
sled train.
A Super
Roadrunner (SRR)
rocket
motor,
developed
specifically
for the HUP
program,
powered each
of the last
two stages.
The SRR
motor
produces
228,000-pounds
of thrust
for 1.4
seconds and
only weighs
1,100
pounds. The
maximum
acceleration
of the sled
was 157-g’s
or 157 times
the force
exerted by
gravity.
When the
payload
impacted the
target it
had 363
megajoules
of energy or
the energy
of a car
impacting a
brick wall
at 2,020
miles per
hour.
The HHSTT is
the world’s
premier
rocket sled
test track.
The HHSTT at
Holloman
AFB, New
Mexico, is
an aerospace
ground test
facility
that
conducted
its first
sled test in
1950. During
tests,
payload and
instrumentation
are moved
along a
straight-line
path by
means of
rocket
sleds, which
operate on a
set of
heavy-duty
crane rails.
These rails
span a total
linear
distance of
50,988 feet.
They are
continuously
welded and
aligned to
rigid
tolerances
with respect
to
straightness
and surface
smoothness.
The Test
Track
provides a
critical
link between
laboratory-type
investigations
and
full-scale
flight
tests. The
Test Track
provides an
efficient,
safe, and
cost-effective
ground test
alternative
to expensive
developmental
flight
tests.
Complementing
the Test
Track
itself, the
overall
HHSTT
complex
encompasses
ancillary
facilities
for
artificial
rain
simulation,
an
accurately
surveyed
ejection
test area,
captive and
free-flight
blast test
sites,
impact test
sites, and a
horizontal
rocket test
stand.
Support
facilities
include
buildings
for
electronic
and
photo-optical
instrumentation,
a telemetry
ground
station, and
engineering
and shop
facilities
for design
and
fabrication
of test
sleds.
Both
military and
civilian
professionals
operate the
HHSTT and
have the
skills
needed to
design,
fabricate,
instrument,
launch,
photograph,
and analyze
the
performance
of test
vehicles and
payloads.
