American Patriotism

OUR MISSION

MEASURED IN MOMENTS
DEFINED BY LEGACY.

"On every flight, time wasn't just measured in minutes, it was measured in moments. Some of them changed my life. Some of them saved it. Tempest Legacy was created to honor those moments, to quietly tell the stories and carry the USMC HMLA mentality into every future moment. Through Tempest Legacy we continue our commitment to never go alone."

Founder Mike Rogers, a Marine Corps helicopter pilot, spent years under rotor blades and pressure. What he learned in those moments was grit, clarity, and precision which became the foundation of Tempest Legacy.

Tempest is not just about telling time. It’s about telling stories. It’s about honoring the legacy of military aviation, and preserving the traditions of courage, leadership, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Each watch is crafted with uncompromising standards and inspired by the machinery, mythology, and mentality of Marine Corps aviation. Limited runs. Timeless design. Built for those who understand that time is more than minutes, it is memory, it is mission, it is meaning.

THE HONOR IS OURS.

NEVER GO ALONE

I didn't set out to build a company. I set out to honor a legacy.

To pay tribute to the moments. The kind that tested you, changed you and sometimes, saved you. I set out to honor the mindset, the character and a life with purpose that serving in the HMLA community gave me. It was an opportunity to extend the brotherhood and provide a constant reminder that we never go alone.

I realize now that this ethos of the HMLA community lives in the spouses, the family and the American patriots as well. It is my mission and that of Tempest Legacy to carry forward our legacy and the ethos of HMLA.

Thank you for believing in this vision.

ACTIVE. RETIRED. SPOUSES. AMERICAN PATRIOTS.

AN EMBLEM WITH PURPOSE

They are the pilots, aircrew, maintainers, and Squadron mates of military aviation - active and retired. They are the invaluable spouses, family members and friends who stood with them through the storm. They are the American Patriots grateful for their service and commitment to this country.

While our brand pays tribute to those who endured the tempest storm - we understand that no one walks alone. Those who wear our emblem embody the very ethos of the HMLA community - they know what it means to serve, to lead, to never go alone.
