Disregard the HATE. The are countless watches that celebrate warships,subs, battles and various heroes of wars. As a black man in America I find this tribute very tastefully done. $300 is not to unreasonable of a price. Great video.
Given my exposure to AVI-8's general lineup, I was truly gobsmacked (not to mention relieved) by their tasteful approach to this series. For the price being asked, this is well done, and while, yes, it's quartz rather than mechanical, at least the movement chosen is clearly above-average in its technical approach. A well-timed review for the holiday, Jory!
I have the blue dial variant. I agree with your take on the strap. I swapped out the factory strap for a navy horween...I have another AVI-8 limited edition mecca-quartz tribute watch. I picked it up a couple of years ago and it keeps insane time. Like 2 seconds off, per year. That has a shitty leather band as well. But I like to support these guys. Great purpose and really nice watches that are affordable.
I saw an email on these awhile ago and like that they actually went with a more traditional design for the Tuskegee vs their more artsy dial concepts.
Not much coverage on this watch, thank you. Just bought one.
Thanx 3T 🎉
Just got this exact model for £80 brand new so looking forward to seeing it
The flyboy is incredible!
I have their Flyboy Engineer (the blue-ish one) and I absolutely love it... Except that it came with a very, very bad NH35 movement in it with ~60+ secs / day discrepancy. Try as I might I couldn't regulate it to anything even remotely acceptable... So I ordered a new NH35, swapped its guts, and after minimal regulation it became the most accurate watch in my collection, hitting a consistent ±2sec / day. It easily beats my COSC certified Tudor and Formex, and it gets quite a bit of my wrist time...
You right about AVI8, they usually give me Diesel vibes. I'm happy they "toned down" their usual style for a tribute to the Red Tails. BTW, why can't you say Nato?
I like some of the AVI-8 designs, but these day with sapphire being so inexpensive it's hard to classify $290.00 as reasonable using a $15.00 movement and mineral crystal. I can pick up a San Martin with the same movement and a sapphire crystal for $119.00. The same company own Spinnaker and other brands. (Avi-8 is owned by London-based Dartmouth Brands, which has a stable of seven watch brands including Earnshaw and Spinnaker. Dartmouth)
AVI-8, Dartmouth, Spinnaker, Thomas Earnshaw and others are owned by Solar Time Limited - a pretty large company based in Hong Kong
NINO, please, even a 3 min video on the watches Swiss made I think thanks
🔥
The tick, it's about 1.5hz?
Like the looks. Wish it was mechanical
This video was in my subs list and then disappeared, the other video you've posted didn't appear at all, algorithm playing playing up again
Good designs, many complains about this brand, Expensive for a simply battery quartz watch.
Needs saphire crystal for me to buy..
Where can we go to peacefully loot this watch ?
🇺🇸
Really like the design, but ffs specs are bad. Should be half the price
Can’t do mineral crystal. Once it’s scratched it’s done. Sapphire almost never scratches and acrylic can be easily polished. Gotta pass.
Specs are rubbish, mineral crystal, 50m wr, non screw in crown, and a quartz movement. Come on Avi-8 you could have made a better watch. The only cool thing is that it honors the Tuskegee Airmen. I will say I am not familiar with their other offerings so it may be their norm to make what is basically a fashion watch.
But it’s a very cool fashion watch
AVI 8 watches are terrible quality. Saw one with the numbers floating around behind the crystal. Utter crap.
Sorry I have to click off after hearing it’s 40mm, I lose interest everytime 😢
Are you a partner with AVI.. I mean why do you push them so much.. any other brand brings a POS like this and you dont hesitate to roast it!
