The classic aviation inspired chronograph. Classic case shape lines house detailed dials, colours, and graphics that celebrate the spirit and adventurism of an era gone by. Straightforward hour indexing, bold hands, and detailed vintage designed subdials of the chronograph are all blended to create a timepiece that is elegant in design, precise in performance and stylish in its comment on the wearer. Strapped with a genuine leather strap that is both dressy yet casual, this is a timepiece that nods to chivalry and performance.

Good quality and design
Great quality and very nice finish, wristband is couple millimeters bigger than fossil and citizen watches so is great for wider wrist too, nice protective package, easy to use functions with a nice very detail manualLove it

Another Great AVI-8
My only negative is the color in the picture of the watch band looks more green while in reality the band is an unattractive beige. Maybe the white balance needs adjusting. While it compliments the watch I would not have purchased the watch had the image shown this. Having said that, when I ordered the watch I also ordered a green with yellow stripe nato elastic strap for this watch. So I am still happy with this watch because I never planned to use the original strap and I love the simplicity of the items on the face. I love the colors of the face and the size is perfect on my large wrist.

Beautiful watch
I've had a Hawker Hurricane for several months now, and it's still one of my go-to watches. The cream dial looks very sharp, and the brightly colored details on the inner chronograph dials help to accentuate the retro aesthetic that the AVI-8 brand is after. It's a very elegant design, but it still stands out enough to land you a few compliments from onlookers. I was also impressed by how soft the leather band was out of the box, you won't have to 'break it in' much for it to feel comfortable.Now for the (slight) issues. The internals used in the HH are not from the 'top shelf' of quartz movements, so keen ears will notice a ticking sound from this watch. It's not as loud as a Timex Weekender, but you will notice it occasionally. Also, the chronograph function on mine has been a bit dodgy...it will run for about 15 minutes or so and then just stop. And when I press the reset button the top and bottom dials don't quite line up to the 12 o'clock position. This was not a huge concern for me though as I rarely need to use the chronograph function. So to sum up this is a very handsome timepiece with some shortcuts taken under the surface to keep things affordable. I was able to get mine right before the price jumped up from $125, so I am very pleased with this watch!

Fully satisfied with the purchase
I've only had the watch for a few weeks but I am quite pleased with it. Excellent finish and a resultant quality look. Good size, not huge but fashionably large. The 'retro' look is carried off well, good colours and styling. The band matches and enhances the look. Accuracy seems good and it's very easy to read. Exactly as I hoped from the ad. I have a lot of watches and this one is great with casual trendy clothing.

Comes in a nice box and the mechanisms have a nice solid click to them. All delicate surfaces comes fully protected in peel plastic. Nice piece!

Nice casual watch, band is meh
One of my favorite watches I own. However, I'm disappointed that the band is on the lower quality end. I lost both of the little hoops that the slack of the watch band goes through. Now I have to pay $40-50 to purchase another one...or just buy another watch for $100 more?

Quality watch. Love the roundel aircraft insignia on the face. Leather wrist band quality as well.

A Great Look, But...
This is a great-looking watch but disappoints upon inspection. It feels light and insubstantial. The principal hour and minute hands are (barely) luminous but nothing else is. All in all, it feels cheap.

Schönes Accessoire
Die Uhr ist in einer schönen Box verpackt. Für das Geld ein sehr guter Eindruck. Die Qualität macht insgesamt auch einen überraschend guten Eindruck. Nur das „Lederband“ zeigt recht früh Abnutzungen an der Stelle wo man es verschließt.Das Glas ist nicht Kratzeranfällig wie ich schon öfter gelesen habe.Für das Geld ist die Uhr weiterzuempfehlen!
