AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic Pilot Watch with Genuine Leather Strap

The AVI-8 brand inspiration and design excellence originates from the collaboration between pilots and engineers who served in air forces around the world. Founded in 2012, every collection is an explicit homage to the planes, people, and history of military aviation. Each timepiece brings to life the detail and narrative of the inspiration to delight and engage the wearer.

The Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic, inspired by the RAF's No. 1 Squadron and the courageous Arthur "Taffy" Clowes, has been designed as a commanding, pronounced pilot's watch to honour their incredible accomplishments during WWII. This automatic watch features a Japanese automatic 3 Hands movement with a date function, a 46mm stainless steel case, a 22mm genuine leather strap, a sapphire lens with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance of 50m.

The AVI-8 watch is luminous, with the index and hands having visibility in low-light conditions after some previous light charging. As an automatic watch, it is powered only by the normal movement of the wearer's wrist and does not need a battery. Instructions and care for the watch can be found on the brand's website or in the enclosed booklets.

The meca-quartz movement is a Japanese-made 'hybrid' movement that blends quartz precision and accuracy with an automatic movement's character, charm, and sweep hand mechanics. What makes AVI-8 watches special is the brand's dedication to shedding light on events and remarkable individuals in aviation history, celebrating the extraordinary achievements of aviators while making a positive impact on the communities who inspire them.

The Spitfire Collection and the Hawker Hurricane Collection are two examples of the brand's offerings, each paying tribute to the iconic aircraft and the stories of the airmen who flew them. Customers can discover the brand's full collection and visit the store to explore the timepieces that bring the history of military aviation to life.
