I found a fairly interesting watch from a small UK based company called AVI-8. Given the staggering number of watches offered by the company, manufacture is outsourced to a third party. Most likely a China based one. Still, Being a fan of Pilots watches and aviation history, I could not help but notice the AV-4011 when is popped on for sale on a local online store.
There is nothing spectacular about the watch itself. The watch has a 42 mm case which houses a Japanese quartz chronograph movement. Priced at about US$200, it is not necessarily a bargain. Still I found the old RAF roundel at the 9 o'clock particularly interesting. The watch comes in several color of dials and black and brown options for straps. But personally cream and brown (AV-4011-04) seems like the most attractive combination.
Still, if you are interested in aviation history, a watch commemorating the Hawker Hurricane might be a worthwhile addition to your collection.
