Dambuster 617 Squadron Association AV-4113-01 Watch

The Watch

Ocarat is thrilled to introduce the captivating creations of Avi-8. Founded in 2012, this young British watchmaking brand channels its creativity and expertise through the codes of aviation, crafting high-quality pilot timepieces that are elegant, modern, durable, and high-performing - earning the brand a growing and well-deserved following. Paying tribute to the brave aviators of World War II, its Dambuster collection features exceptional models defined by timeless elegance, technical prowess, and a neo-vintage spirit - including this stunning 617 Squadron Association AV-4113-01 Watch. Designed for men, this timepiece effortlessly earns its place on your wrist every day, letting you express your bold personal style with authority. Crafted as a limited edition, it features a refined round case that sits comfortably on the wrist for an exceptional wearing experience. The case is crafted from stainless steel with a polished finish for an irresistible on-wrist effect, measuring 43 mm in diameter. At 3 o'clock, the case houses an oversized crown with a knurled design for a confident grip, allowing you to set the hours and minutes at any time. The dial is protected by a mineral crystal fitted with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring clear, glare-free time reading from every angle. Finally, thanks to its screw-down case back, this watch is water-resistant to 5 bars of atmospheric pressure.

The Dial

For a captivating result, the brand opts for a striking round dial in blue with a semi-matte finish that adorns your wrist with refinement and modernity while ensuring a clear, crisp time display. It is traversed by two baton hands in black indicating the hours and minutes. A slender seconds hand in red joins them to display the seconds. All three point to a minute track graduated around the dial edge with dashes. Odd hours are marked by baton indices while even hours are marked by square indices accompanied by minute graduations in Arabic numerals. Like the hands, these time markers feature a luminescent coating in beige, enabling clear time reading even in the dark. Animated by a red hand and secured by four visible screws, a sub-dial at 6 o'clock provides a 24-hour function. Its black half and blue half indicate nighttime and daytime hours respectively. On a blue plate positioned below 12 o'clock, the brand places its name as a signature. Below it, the collection name "Dambuster" is noted alongside the designation "Meca-Quartz" at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

A meca-quartz movement, renowned for its high quality, performance, and reliability, powers this timepiece - ensuring the smooth and accurate motion of the hands and the counter. Made in Japan, this movement delivers precise and dependable time display of hours, minutes, and seconds in any situation.

The Strap

This timepiece sits on a refined genuine bovine leather strap that wraps the wrist in comfort and sophistication throughout the day. With a lug width of 22 mm, it showcases a beautiful blue color contrasted by cream-toned stitching, making it easy to pair with any outfit. From smart-casual to relaxed everyday looks, it's the elegant finishing touch that elevates your style. The pin buckle, crafted in stainless steel, ensures effortless adjustment and a secure, comfortable fit.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated at 50 meters - or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from H2O - whether in the bath, pool, or sea. In short: no swimming or scuba diving, and no sustained contact or immersion.
