New Gear For Pilots Includes A Chronograph And Knife

The AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Chronograph pays homage to the long-serving British single-engine fighter that first flew in the 1950s. The design mimics the feel of the warbird's panel, with both the outer casing and the subdials reminiscent of cockpit gauges thanks to their square shape and big block numerals. Meanwhile, the pushers on the side of the watch resemble pistons. In addition to these features, the watch's textured background and use of indentations create a unique sense of depth perception and a multi-layered feel.

Encased in stainless steel, the watch face measures 45 mm in diameter and is 12 mm thick. It features a Japanese quartz movement and a 22-mm hand-stitched leather band. Inscribed on the back of the watch is the AVI-8 logo. The watch comes with a two-year warranty and is priced at $280.
