AVI-8 Mens Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic Pilot Watch

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

One such collection is the Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic, which pays tribute to the 303 Squadron's unparalleled achievements during the Battle of Britain. Led by Flight Commander John Kent and equipped with Hawker Hurricanes, the 303 Squadron claimed the most victories in the battle. To honor their heroic efforts, AVI-8 has launched the Kent Automatic, incorporating design details drawn from the iconic Hawker Hurricane and the 303 Squadron.

The Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic features a stylish 43mm stainless steel case, a 22mm genuine leather strap, a sapphire lens with an anti-reflective coating, and a water resistance of 50m. It is powered by a Japanese automatic 3-hand movement with a date function, providing the wearer with the character and charm of an automatic movement.

The watch's luminous index and hands offer visibility in low-light conditions, and the automatic movement is powered solely by the normal movement of the wearer's wrist, eliminating the need for a battery. Instructions and care information for the watch can be found on the brand's website or in the enclosed booklets.

The meca-quartz movement used in this timepiece is a Japanese-made "hybrid" movement that blends quartz precision and accuracy with the sweep hand mechanics of an automatic movement, offering the best of both worlds.

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