Hawker Hunter AV-4100-08 Watch

The Watch

Avi-8 is a dynamic, innovative watch brand whose designs are inspired by military aviation. The brand builds its expertise through collections that showcase its excellence and craftsmanship. Its models sit at the cutting edge of technology, combining refinement with robustness. The manufacture now presents the AV-4100-08, the signature piece of its Hawker Hunter line - a stunning blend of precision and elegance crafted for men's wrists. It features a bold dodecagonal case in stainless steel measuring 44.00 mm in diameter, 14.00 mm thick, with a lug-to-lug length of 54.0 mm. The bi-color bezel on the case edge features a 12-hour scale for easy third time zone reading, plus a luminescent insert. The dial is covered by an anti-reflective mineral crystal for optimal legibility. The screw-down crown at 3 o'clock and the two pushers flanking it handle all function adjustments. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures this 180-gram model is water resistant to 5 ATM.

The Dial

A tribute to the Hawker Hunter's cockpit dashboard, this watch features a multi-layered round dial rendered in striking black. Its clean lines and bold character add a touch of refinement to any look. The skeletonized hour and minute hands point to applied stick indices with Swiss SuperLuminova. They are joined by a skeletonized seconds hand and a fourth hand with a yellow tip for the third time zone. As a chronograph, it features three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, respectively indicating the 24-hour display and second time zone, 60 seconds, and 60 minutes. For added precision, it incorporates a minutes track on the inner bezel and a date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. The indices and hands are all luminescent for clear legibility in the dark. The brand name and logo appear at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

This beautiful watch is powered by a Japanese quartz chronograph movement - an ultra-reliable, high-performing mechanism that drives the hands, sub-dials, and date window with precision.

The Strap

This elegant timepiece is fitted with a dark brown bovine leather strap that effortlessly dresses the wrist for everyday wear. Comfortable and refined, it is accented with white stitching that enhances its charm. The lug width measures 22.00 mm and it features a pin buckle for easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

This watch offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 meters. It is built to be as beautiful as it is resilient. That said, its precious finish doesn't compromise its ability to handle everyday wear. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its shine and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are strongly discouraged, as exposure to those conditions may damage the watch and result in costly repairs.
