Hands-On With The Brand-New AVI-8 CVRT 3775A Automatic
The AVI-8 CVRT 3775A Automatic is a new tactical-inspired everyday tool watch that marks a departure from the brand's traditional pilot's watch designs. Developed in collaboration with Worn & Wound Creative Services, this model emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic while retaining military and aviation influences. Its 37.75mm stainless steel case features enhanced drainage, a scratch-resistant coating, and a blacked-out bezel, making it both stylish and functional. The Miyota 9015 automatic movement ensures reliability with a 42-hour power reserve, while the watch is offered with two black straps for versatility. When worn, the CVRT 3775A feels comfortable and well-balanced, exuding a sense of quality that belies its price point of approximately €398.95 / US$450 / £421. The matte black dial offers excellent legibility with white markers, all coated in Super-LumiNova for visibility in low light. While it is designed for casual wear and may limit its use to informal settings, it stands out as an impressive option for those seeking a tactical field watch under €400. The overall execution reflects a successful evolution for AVI-8, appealing to a broader audience while maintaining its core identity.
