AVI-8’s approach to vintage-style pilot watches is unique and fresh. The brand’s latest offering takes the form of a dual-time quartz chronograph. The Hawker Hunter Atlas Dual Time gets a 12-sided 43mm stainless steel case that mimics the legendary and record-breaking Hawker Hunter jet fighter’s instrumentation. Other important styling details include a deep-inset and texturized dial, floating markers, triple-register subdials, black and red pushers, and skeletonized hands. The third hand can be used to monitor a second time zone, and you can even make use of the 12-hour bi-color bezel to track a third time zone. Timekeeping duties come by way of a Japanese quartz chrono movement. The watch is topped off with tough mineral glass and strapped to your wrist with a contrast-stitched leather strap. It comes in four colorways, each with its own distinct flavor. You can buy directly on the AVI-8 site now.
