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.

A great unique watch

First time I have used the website to order the watch it was easy to use no problems whatsoever. The watch is unique and smart on the wrist and the price is great. I have just recently discovered this watch company and for good quality quirky aviation watches it can’t be beaten a nice everyday watch for my collection

Beautiful timepiece, colour differs slightly to photos

A beautiful watch. I missed out on the previous limited edition Bell X-1 model and this isn’t the same quality and the details are different. This is still a beautiful watch and a real eye catcher. The only thing that I was thrilled with was that the orange colour does not pop out as much as on the website photos and the difference in shading between the inner and outer surfaces of the face, mainly due to the differing surface texture, are very pronounced - you don’t quite see this on the photos. All in all, still an excellent watch and I would recommend.

Bell Aircraft X-1 in retro orange.

Superior watch that captures the unique qualities of the record setting X-1 rocket-powered, supersonic aircraft. Beautiful in every detail….
