Watches AVI-8 AV-4052-R1

The AVI-8 AV-4052 Hawker Hunter watch pays proper tribute to the famous jet without being cluttered or contrived in its carefully considered design. The Retrograde edition seemingly transfers the Hawker Hunter's dashboard and cockpit to the wrist of its wearer with a tribute and rendition that is nevertheless, like a watch, utterly practical and balanced.

With an angular shape that replicates key elements of Hunters own instruments, the reference to the famous military aircraft that first flew in the service of the RAF in the early 1950s is obvious.

The dial itself is a perfectly designed assembly of scalloping, tension rings and carefully placed sub-dial bezels that continue the look and feel of this watch as a military instrument.
