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.

The Hawker Harrier “Jump Jet” found service across several air and naval air forces during the latter half of the 20th Century. It represented a breakthrough in aviation design and went on to serve many missions with distinction. To pay tribute to the variants of this famed jet, AVI-8 introduced the latest version of its Harrier chronograph family inspired by the planes that flew for the Spanish Navy, nicknamed the “Matador”. In full timing operation, the Matador comes alive with a whirring of hands and wheels that create a dynamic experience not unlike that of a Harrier in full flight.

A WATCH OF STYLE, SUBSTANCE AND MECHANICAL MARVEL

At first glance, the Matador is a complex jigsaw of gears and wheels, which are precisely layered on top of each other as a dynamically designed piece of aviation-inspired timing instrumentation.

INSPIRED BY THE ROLLS ROYCE ENGINE

The sturdy case measures 45.0mm in diameter with a carved case back that echoes the turbine blades of the Rolls Royce Pegasus engine inside the Harrier.

Desert Brown

Lovely watch. Nicest in the whole range I think. I have 2 Avi-8's now and still have another one in mind. Value for money and quality. Can't go wrong.

Engranajes a la vista

Tiene buena presencia, y sobre todo muy buena lectura de la fecha y hora. Me ha llamado la atención como se forma la fecha con dos discos

Gift for my wife

She saw my other 3 Avi-8’s that I have and while we were looking at all the others Avi-8 watches online, she saw the Desert Brown and fell in love with it. She loves it and wears it everyday!!

Strap to short by about 20 mm

I have only average size wrists but the strap only just fits under the first Keeper loop , could do with another 20mm
