AVI-8 Men's 45mm Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph Watch

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

The latest addition to the AVI-8 Harrier chronograph family is the Hawker Harrier Matador, inspired by the variants of the famed Hawker Harrier "Jump Jet" that flew for the Spanish Navy, nicknamed the "Matador". In full timing operation, the Matador comes alive with a whirring of hands and wheels, creating a dynamic experience akin to a Harrier in full flight.

This stylish men's watch features a Japanese Quartz Chronograph movement, offering 1/20 Second and Big Date functionality. The 45mm stainless steel case is complemented by a 22mm genuine leather strap, a mineral lens with anti-reflective coating, and a water resistance of 50m.

For those concerned about the watch's luminosity, the index and hands will have visibility in low-light conditions after some previous light charging. As for the power source, if the watch is "Automatic", it is powered solely by the normal movement of the wearer's wrist and does not require a battery. More detailed instructions on the watch's mechanics and care can be found on the brand's website or in the accompanying booklets.

The meca-quartz movement used in this AVI-8 watch is a Japanese-made 'hybrid' that blends quartz precision and accuracy with the character, charm, and sweep hand mechanics of an automatic movement.

What sets AVI-8 watches apart is the brand's commitment to shedding light on events and remarkable individuals in aviation history. AVI-8 has had the privilege of celebrating the extraordinary achievements of aviators while making a positive impact on the communities who inspire them.

Customers can explore the full AVI-8 collection, including the Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane lines, on the brand's website and in their stores. Each timepiece is a testament to the brand's dedication to honoring both the aircraft and the untold stories of the airmen who have left an indelible mark on the world of aviation.

In summary, the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph is a stylish, high-quality timepiece that pays homage to the rich history of military aviation, with a range of features and functions that cater to the needs of modern watch enthusiasts.
