Description
AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Aviator Chronograph Watch #AV-4052-07
The AV-4052 brings the instrument panel and cockpit of the Hawker Hunter to the wrist of the wearer. The angled off squared shape emulates the key pieces of the Hunters instrumentation, an homage to the famed military jet that first flew in service for the RAF in the early 1950s.A sturdy yet precisely finished marine grade stainless steel case houses a Japanese retrograde split time chronograph that sits under the dial. The dial itself is a perfectly designed assembly of indentations, tension rings and carefully positioned sub-dial frames that continue the look and feel of this watch as a piece of military instrumentation. Outlined hands are bold to offer clarity and visibility of all sub-dials on the multi-layered dial that offers depth and detail for the wearer.
With piston like pushers and level upon level of Hunter inspired aesthetic touches, the AV 4052 pays suitable tribute to the famed jet without being cluttered and fussy in its carefully considered design. The sub-dial between 9:00 and 11:00 is a 10 minute retrograde stopwatch (snaps back to zero after 10 minutes has elapsed). Running seconds is at 6:00 and there is a 24-hour sub-dial at 3:00.
Snugly strapped to the wrist with a hand stitched vintage genuine leather strap – the AV 4052 is an impressive, functional and unique aviation inspired timepiece like no other. 45mm diameter stainless steel case that is 12mm thick. Japan quartz chronograph movement.
