AVI-8 proudly introduces the P-51 Mustang Twilight Tear Automatic Limited Edition. This remarkable watch is a testament to history, precision, and the unwavering spirit of the Greatest Generation.
The collection draws its inspiration from the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, "Twilight Tear”. This aircraft is a symbol of courage and resilience, delivered to the 78th Fighter Group in Duxford, England, in April 1945, towards the end of World War II. Assigned to Lt. Hubert "Bill" Davis, the aircraft was promptly named after his favorite racehorse. Davis achieved remarkable feats and played a pivotal role in the famous raid on Hitler's Eagle's Nest.
What sets this collection apart is its unique connection to history. This limited-edition timepiece incorporates a real part of the fuselage from the iconic P-51 "Twilight Tear" 463 864 aircraft, visible on the caseback. Every glance at your wrist is a tribute to the heroes who piloted this remarkable aircraft and a reminder of their indomitable spirit.
In a profound gesture of respect and gratitude, AVI-8 pledges 5% of Net Sales from this limited-edition collection to the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum. This museum is home to a pristine collection of fully operational, active aircraft and vehicles from World War II. It provides an immersive experience that offers a rare look into the lives and legacy of the Greatest Generation.
Beyond its historic significance, the P-51 Mustang Twilight Tear is a masterpiece of precision, housing a Japanese automatic 3 hands movement with a date feature. The stainless-steel case, adorned with an anti-reflective sapphire Lens, ensures durability and crystal-clear vision. The genuine leather strap, accompanied by an additional Velcro nylon strap, offers versatility in style and comfort.
