While paying tribute to those who have served and sacrificed on our behalf, the RBL Tri-Service Limited Edition operates as a high-performance and durable military-ready timepiece, incorporating all the necessary build and engineering for use in any field of combat.
Powered by a precise TMI VK series Meca-quartz chronograph movement, the choice of movement is of particular interest given the UK’s Ministry of Defence issue of a watch from Seiko to its military forces in the 1980s to update previous watch selections from British or Swiss watch companies, making it the first quartz chronograph movement delivered as a bonafide piece of military equipment.


A stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter is equipped with tidy piston-like chronograph pushers, while a hardened mineral lens delivers clear-cut visibility to the dial and hands. Topping the crown is the Royal British Legion’s red two-petal poppy enclosed in epoxy.
Not forgetting this timepiece's inspiration, the night view of the watch sees the dial face come alive with a luminous field of poppies, adding an important and visually compelling reminder of those who have sacrificed and served.

Handsome Chronograph - Thematic and Inexpensive
This watch (and all others from AVI-8) all focus on particular people or events related to the early days of aviation warfare. Attempts are made to associate their designs to particular aircraft, aviation groups, or aviators. Most are attractive, but none have traditional Swiss complicated chronograph movements. This one is a Japanese Mega-Quartz, with ticking sounds and a mechanical stopwatch. Everyone has preferences, and I like the white dial (and size) of the Blakeslee Chronograph and the Hawker Hurricane.

This model is absolutely stunning. It's the perfect size, well built, accurate and the lumed hidden logos are enjoyable to see. I love this timepiece, from its look and feel to how wearable it is all day. This is definitely a hit. Excellent job!!!
