Hemel's Type 20-style pilot chronograph. The "VK64 configuration" (black and navy dials) and the USAF Special Edition share the same Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement and case, so they are one model. Brand specs: 316L brushed case, 42mm, 49mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, 100m; engraved solid screw-down caseback; signed push/pull crown (not screw-down); flat sapphire with AR coating (side not stated); 120-click rotating bezel, C3 lume, as a 60-minute ceramic bezel or a stainless steel GMT bezel; matte black or navy dial with C3. The GMT bezel is a 12-hour scale in the photos, and the "Standard" option (HF18) shows a plain steel bezel with no scale; bezel direction is not stated. Layout per photos: 60-minute counter at 9 and the VK64's 24-hour indicator at 3, with no date window. The USAF Special Edition (sold in collaboration with the US Air Force) comes with a choice of engraved casebacks at the same price: Specialist (HFUSAF1A), Mach Speed (HFUSAF1D), Mission Objectives (HFUSAF1E), Aim High (HFUSAF1H) and 75th Anniversary (HFUSAF1K). The black-dial page points to Hemel's Amazon shop for in-stock pieces. No thickness or weight published or found (Wristwatch Review's Hemel x USAF article is behind a bot check).
