When it comes to limited edition and aviation-inspired timepieces, it’s hard to look past the guys at AVI-8 and they’ve excelled themselves once again with their latest release – the superb-looking Spirit Of Tuskegee Chronograph Limited Edition Watches. This first-class release is a special collaboration with Tuskegee Airmen Inc. (TAI) for the third time. This exclusive collection of watches pays homage to the heroic legacy of the iconic Tuskegee Airmen, who made history as the pioneering, all-black corps during World War II.
With prices starting at a mighty reasonable £266, the AVI-8 Spirit Of Tuskegee Chronograph Limited Edition Watches are available in four different versions with each honouring a different pilot from the TAI. Each version of the watch is limited to just 860 pieces so you’ll need to move fast if you want to get one of these fantastic timepieces on your wrist this winter. This limited edition offering AVI-8 tells the heartwarming story of Captain Matthew Quy and his wife Tina, who acquired and restored a vintage Stearman biplane. To their astonishment, they discovered it was one of the surviving planes used to train the Tuskegee Airmen.
As always, these watches from AVI-8 are decidedly striking and they are positively chock full of excellent design features that really do belie their sub-£300 price tag. To start, each of the four watches boasts a Japanese Meca-quartz Chronograph Movement which is both robust and reliable and will keep great time day in, day out. Some of the other stand-out features of these watches include Anti Reflection Coated Mineral Lens Glass, Applied Lume Indexes for great visibility in low-light conditions and an impressive 5ATM water resistance.
AVI-8 continues its commendable commitment to giving back to the community by donating 10% of the net sales from each of these Tuskegee Airmen Limited Edition timepieces to support TAI’s youth programs and educational endeavours. The collaboration aims to shine a light on disadvantaged youth and open them up to aviation careers to promote the true legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. Grab yours now.
