Hands-On With The AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition
The AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition is a tribute to the American pilots who flew alongside the Royal Air Force before the U.S. entered World War II. This limited edition series features three distinct dial variations—black, blue, and green—each honoring different squadrons. The watches are housed in a 39mm bronze case and are powered by the Miyota 8215 automatic movement. The design includes oversized Arabic numerals, crosshairs, and a date window, alongside a unique squadron badge, making each timepiece a celebration of bravery and history. Comfortable yet substantial on the wrist, the watches come with high-quality vintage-style leather straps and an additional NATO strap. Each piece will develop its own patina over time, enhancing its uniqueness. Priced at $450 and limited to 175 pieces per version, these watches not only serve as functional timepieces but also as personal statements that resonate with military history enthusiasts, reflecting a narrative of valor and craftsmanship.
