AVI-8 are, without doubt, one of the best in the business when it comes to impactful, aviation inspired timepieces and their latest release to hit the shelves, the Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic Watches, is up there with the best of them in our opinion here at The Coolector. These eye-catching timepieces are going to turn heads aplenty with their bold, uncompromising aesthetics and a timeless pilot inspired look with Swiss luminous applied indexes and unique details.

The Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic Watches from AVI-8 start at a mighty wallet friendly £235 so it just goes to show that you don’t need to break the bank to get a great looking and top performing timepiece on your wrist. Inspired by Flight Commander, John Kent, who, equipped with Hawker Hurricanes, alongside the 303 Squadron claimed the most victories during the Battle of Britain. To honour their unparalleled achievements, AVI-8 has launched the Kent Automatic with design details drawn from the iconic Hawker Hurricane and 303 Squadron.

TAKE TO THE SKIES

These amazing looking watches from AVI-8 have already proven mighty popular and are flying off the shelves as we speak. They are designed to pay tribute to Kent and his amazing achievements and have a load of super cool little design features to help set them apart such as his aircraft code stamped at the 6H position and a custom seconds hand counter-balance shaped in the form of his Hawker Hurricane.

The AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Automatic Watches (from £235) are housed in a traditional pilot’s watch case that measures 43mm in diameter and sits with a real presence and gravitas on the wrist. Finely brushed surfaces deliver a utilitarian charm whilst a domed sapphire lens provides a clear view into the dial’s inner workings. Completing the case is a cleanly engraved case back featuring the 303 Squadron emblem which is a great finishing touch in our opinion.

Powered by a robust and reliable Japanese Miyota 8 series automatic movement, this pilot watch from AVI-8 is armed with both performance and precision and it definitely isn’t difficult to see why they’re proving such a popular release so far. Available in four different versions – NEWTON, SUSSEX, HAMPSHIRE and STANTON – you’ll be able to pick the one that resonates best with your style and whichever you go for, you’ll be getting an adventure ready timepiece that will soar high in the performance department.
