AVI-8 x Royal British Legion Flyboy Limited Edition Watches

When it comes to watches for a good cause, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better example than this newly released collaboration between aviation-inspired watchmakers, AVI-8, and the Royal British Legion who have teamed up to create an awesome selection of limited edition watches. With two chronographs and two quartz options to choose from, you’re sure to find something that fits both your style and budget in this capsule collab.

The AVI-8 x Royal British Legion Flyboy Limited Edition Watches are exceptionally stylish and have the sort of aviation-orientated aesthetics we’ve come to expect from the watchmaker. It is the RBL’s centenary year, and they remain dedicated to their mission of creating better futures for all those who serve and have served with the British Armed Forces. The funds raised from these limited edition timepieces from AVI-8 will ensure that they can continue this work in the years to come. So, this is one watch you can feel good about purchasing.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

With an outstanding 1,000 units produced for each of the four new models, every timepiece sold will contribute to this amazing charity and support those who serve and have served in the British Armed Forces and their families. The AVI-8 x Royal British Legion Flyboy Limited Edition Watches are available for £125 for the quartz and £225 for the chronograph editions so you don’t have to break the bank to support this wonderful charity and get an amazing looking watch on your wrist this autumn.

The Founder’s Chronograph Edition (£225) offers both legibility and a brilliantly balanced aesthetic that we’re mighty impressed with here at The Coolector. The Founder’s edition is a true bicompax chronograph fused with vintage elements, such as cathedral style hands and a telemeter on the chapter ring. Completing the dial is a striking red poppy on the chronograph seconds hand as a symbol of Remembrance. It also boasts a dependable Japanese meca-quartz chronograph movement that blends the best of both worlds – quartz accuracy and the crisp hand feel of a mechanical movement.

Moving on to the Chairman’s Meca-Quartz Edition which combines contemporary and classical details effortlessly. The vintage aviation inspired dial features syringe-style hands and bold applied Arabic hour indexes with Swiss lume on a textured matte canvas. The Royal British Legion’s iconic two petal poppy is stamped at the 6 o’clock position as a mark of Remembrance. Powering the Chairman’s edition is a robust and reliable Japanese meca-quartz movement featuring a charming, smooth, sweeping seconds hand usually found in premium modern mechanical movements. Regardless of which version you go for, you’ll be helping an extraordinary charity and that’s something you can feel good about.
