AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Bronze LE Gravesend Watch #AV-4145-01

Commemorating 85 Years of Courage, Legacy, and Flight
This December, AVI-8 proudly unveils a timepiece forged in honor of the 85th Anniversary of the Eagle Squadrons — a tribute to the brave American pilots who volunteered to fly alongside the Royal Air Force before the United States entered World War II.

The Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition pays homage to their valor and enduring legacy. Featuring a bronze case that ages beautifully with time, paired with a sapphire crystal lens, the watch captures the rugged resilience of the pilots it celebrates. Powered by a reliable Japanese Miyota automatic movement, it delivers precision and durability for every mission. Each timepiece comes fitted with a crazy horse leather strap and includes an additional oily leather strap — both exuding vintage authenticity.

Under low light, the Swiss Super-LumiNova dial glows brilliantly, while hidden UV-reactive inscriptions — “*First from the eyries. For liberty. Let us to the battle.*” — reveal a message of courage, unseen until illuminated. Each piece is packaged in commemorative anniversary packaging and limited to 175 pieces per squadron, each proudly representing: Gravesend – No. 71 Squadron (AV 4145 01), Southend – No. 121 Squadron (AV 4145 02) and Coltishall – No. 133 Squadron (AV 4145 03).

A testament to aviation heritage, the Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze embodies the daring spirit of those who flew for freedom.
