Hawker Hunter AV-4100-09 Watch

The Watch

Avi-8 creates watches as a tribute to the world of aviation. Their timepieces blend precision and innovation, captivating enthusiasts everywhere. A prime example is this stunning Hawker Hunter AV-4100-09, built to elegantly adorn men's wrists. It sports a dodecagonal case in stainless steel measuring 44.00 mm in diameter, 14.00 mm thick, with a lug-to-lug length of 54.10 mm. It features a bi-color bezel with a 12-hour scale for the third time zone and a luminescent insert. The anti-reflective mineral crystal over the dial ensures perfect legibility of all functions. Functions are adjusted via the crown at 3 o'clock and the two flanking pushers. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures this model is water resistant to 5 ATM.

The Dial

This superb timepiece houses a round dial inspired by the Hawker Hunter cockpit dashboard. Its multi-layer effect sets it apart, and the black tone elevates the overall look. Vivid, colorful indicators ensure the time is read with clarity and precision. The skeletonized gold-tone hands indicate the hours and minutes. They are joined by an arrow-tipped seconds hand that tracks chronograph seconds, and a fourth red-tipped hand for the third time zone hour count. The applied stick indices feature Swiss SuperLuminova and are accompanied by a minutes track. Both indices and hands benefit from Swiss Newlite luminescent treatment for legibility in the dark. As a chronograph, it also integrates three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, indicating respectively the 24-hour display and second time zone, 60 seconds, and 60 minutes. A date window sits between 4 and 5 o'clock. The brand name and logo appear at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this stunning watch beats a Japanese quartz chronograph movement - renowned for its reliability and precision, it drives the hands, sub-dials, and date window for a flawless display.

The Strap

This beautiful model is fitted with a dark brown bovine leather strap with black stitching. It elevates your wrist and any outfit for any occasion. The lug width measures 22.00 mm and the pin buckle ensures easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

This watch offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. 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.
