Why AVI-8?

At AVI-8 we pride ourselves in shedding light on important events and people throughout aviation history. Through a collection of exclusive collaborations, we've been fortunate enough to bring attention to the remarkable feats of aviators whilst giving back to communities whose stories we draw inspiration from.

AVI-8 x RBL

AVI-8 was incredibly proud to announce the partnership with the Royal British Legion for their centenary year in May 2021. Each timepiece sold helped raise funds for this extraordinary charity and support the crucial work they do for those who serve and have served in the British Armed Forces and their families.

AVI-8 x Jet Art Aviation

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Daily Mail Transatlantic Air Race in 1969 won by Tom Lecky-Thompson in Harrier XV741, AVI-8 worked closely with renowned aviation restoration company Jet Art Aviation to produce a series of limited edition timepieces.

AVI-8 x Help for Heroes

AVI-8 was honoured to announce the release of a line of limited edition timepieces in partnership with British charity Help for Heroes. Funds raised were used to provide lifetime support to those wounded in the service of their country. Every course and activity offered from them aims to empower veterans to look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society.

It’s a great, beautiful watch. Overall looks extremely reliable and is an eye catcher. Only bad things are changing the wristband (the staves are not moving an inch) and the color of the steel wrist band is rubbing of in between the band parts Still that is not deducting any stars overall for me thanks for the watch

A real success!

This watch is really very successful. The idea of ​​celebrating the first supersonic flight in this way is excellent. The design is full of details reminiscent of this legendary plane, like this zero and this six which took me a while to understand! (Chuck Yeager actually reached Mach 1.06 on this famous October 14, 1947), or the balance wheel which takes up the 4 exhausts of the plane's rocket engines. The small model is a very nice plus, even if of very average quality. I installed the orange leather strap, which, combined with the black and orange look of the watch, looks great! Some slight disappointments nevertheless: the metal bracelet is really difficult to dismantle (I managed to do it after a lot of effort); the watch advances by 12 seconds per day, which is pretty decent at this price, but still annoying because it takes more than a minute per week; finally, readability is almost zero in the dark or certain light conditions: for a few euros more, we would have appreciated a luminescent coating. In any case, I don't regret my purchase: this watch is very exciting! Well done!

Nice watch but unable to adjust metal strap

The watch is beautiful, using it with the leather strap now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to push the pin out of the metal strap to change the length. Would need to see professional help on it.
