Nice commemorative watch
I love it. It's great that they create these thematic limited editions. It'd be nice if one could choose the colour of the straps.

COULDN'T BE BETTER THAN THiS
i have to give the highest ratings to this piece. i've restored/sold/collected mechanical timepieces for the last 30 years, mostly pilot watches and divers. so giving this mecaquartz top ratings against that background is high praise. the mecaquartz is a taste one must want, and i definitely wanted a watch that gave a mechanical's higher beat rate, but none of the expensive servicing/need for constant winding and resetting. i tried another brand which was excellent except for the very poor lume, making the watch unusable for me. this AVi-8 hit all the marks with top design, execution/quality control, excellent lume, domed sapphire, etc. the 50m water resistance was perfect seeing that this is a pilot not diver watch. can't ask for more than this, including it being an homage to the great Tuskegee Airmen. i love wearing this.
