Avi-8 Mens 45mm Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph Pilot Watch

The AVI-8 brand 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, with every timepiece bringing to life the detail and narrative of the inspiration to delight and engage the wearer.

One of the brand's latest offerings is the Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph, which pays tribute to the variants of the famed Hawker Harrier "Jump Jet" that flew for the Spanish Navy, earning the nickname "Matador". In full timing operation, the Matador comes alive with a whirring of hands and wheels that create a dynamic experience not unlike that of a Harrier in full flight.

The Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph features a stylish 45mm stainless steel case, a 22mm genuine leather strap, a mineral lens with anti-reflective coating, and a water resistance of 50m. At the heart of this timepiece is a Japanese Quartz Chronograph movement, offering 1/20 Second and Big Date functionality.

For those interested in the technical details, the Hawker Harrier Matador is powered by a meca-quartz movement, which is a Japanese-made 'hybrid' movement that blends quartz precision and accuracy with an automatic movement's character, charm, and sweep hand mechanics.

In terms of luminosity, the Hawker Harrier Matador's index and hands will have visibility in low-light conditions after some previous light charging. Additionally, the watch is backed by a 2-year international warranty, covering any manufacturing defects.

Regarding the care and maintenance of the Hawker Harrier Matador, detailed instructions can be found on the AVI-8 brand's website, or in the booklets enclosed with the watch. For those wondering if the watch requires a battery, the answer depends on whether it is an automatic or quartz model. Automatic watches are powered solely by the normal movement of the wearer's wrist and do not need a battery.

What makes AVI-8 watches truly special 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. The Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph is just one example of how the brand brings the rich history of military aviation to life through its timepieces.

Whether you're a aviation enthusiast or simply appreciate well-crafted, stylish watches, the Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph from AVI-8 is sure to delight and engage the wearer, serving as a testament to the brand's dedication to honoring the planes, people, and history of military aviation.
