Hawker Hunter Dual Time Chronograph Watch AV-4100-04

The Watch

Avi-8 is a watch brand that pays tribute to British military aircraft. Founded in 2013, its name draws inspiration from the aeronautical registration codes of British aviation dating back to World War II. The brand crafts characterful timepieces with a unique design and technique that captivate aviation enthusiasts around the world. Its chronographs are a nod to the classic cockpit dashboard. The Hawker Hunter Dual Time Chronograph AV-4100-04 watch brings together the fascinating world of watchmaking and the thrilling history of aviation. It features a square case with visible screws, crafted in stainless steel. Measuring 43 mm in diameter, it houses a circular bezel with graduated markings from 1 to 11 - a triangle replacing the 12. The bezel surface is split between two tones: black and grey. The black middle case is sandwiched between a mineral crystal and a screwed caseback ensuring 5 ATM water resistance. Finally, the crown with ridged grip is positioned at 3 o'clock, while the two push-buttons in red and black are located at 2 and 4 o'clock respectively.

The Dial

The dial on this model brings the Hawker Hunter's cockpit dashboard to the wearer's wrist. Expertly crafted with perfectly balanced details, this multi-layered base features multiple rings, each displaying its own set of indications. A black outer ring houses the minute track and baton indexes, followed by a second grey ring, then a dark grey inner circle with a granulated finish reminiscent of aircraft runways. This inner circle displays Arabic numerals for a second time zone, 3 screwed sub-dials, and skeleton hands alongside a slim seconds hand with a yellow tip. The 24-hour, 60-minute, and 60-second totalisers are positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock respectively. The date is displayed in a window between 4 and 5 o'clock, while the brand name and collection logo sit below the red triangle at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This Hawker Hunter Dual Time Chronograph watch is powered by a highly reliable and precise quartz movement. Battery-operated, it drives the hands, date display, and chronograph functions.

The Strap

This watch fastens around the wrist with a black leather strap secured by a pin buckle. Featuring red and white contrast stitching along the sides, it adds a sportier edge to the overall look.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms, this timepiece can handle the occasional splash - but prolonged water exposure is not its thing. You can wear it in the shower every now and then, but to preserve the quality and precision of its movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from H2O in the bath, pool, or sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
