Why AVI-8?

At AVI-8 we pride ourselves in shedding light on important events and people throughout aviation history. Through a collection of exclusive collaborations, we've been fortunate enough to bring attention to the remarkable feats of aviators whilst giving back to communities whose stories we draw inspiration from.

AVI-8 x RBL

AVI-8 was incredibly proud to announce the partnership with the Royal British Legion for their centenary year in May 2021. Each timepiece sold helped raise funds for this extraordinary charity and support the crucial work they do for those who serve and have served in the British Armed Forces and their families.

AVI-8 x Jet Art Aviation

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Daily Mail Transatlantic Air Race in 1969 won by Tom Lecky-Thompson in Harrier XV741, AVI-8 worked closely with renowned aviation restoration company Jet Art Aviation to produce a series of limited edition timepieces.

AVI-8 x Help for Heroes

AVI-8 was honoured to announce the release of a line of limited edition timepieces in partnership with British charity Help for Heroes. Funds raised were used to provide lifetime support to those wounded in the service of their country. Every course and activity offered from them aims to empower veterans to look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society.

What a great looking watch, and someone from someone has bought over 25 AVI-8 watches. This is probably the best quality looking one I have bought. I am glad I went for the more subtle look and prefer it on the supplied leather/plastic strap.

Stunning watch and beautiful display case

I was completely blown away by this stunning timepiece. Outstanding build quality and the display case with watch stand/model was a fantastic touch. I originally wanted the Muroc Orange one and was gutted it sold out so quickly but in my humble opinion the Buffalo Blue version is the most visually stunning. As a Bell X-1 enthusiast and historian I’m absolutely delighted to add it to my collection. As someone who knew Chuck Yeager and had a close friendship with launch pilot General Bob Cardenas and General Fred J. Ascani it has a deep personal place in my heart.
