AV-4108-RBL - DAMBUSSTER - 80TH ANNIVERSARY ROYAL BRITISH LEGION

The AV-4108-RBL men's watch from AVI-8 is a timepiece that combines a passion for watchmaking and aviation. This model commemorates the courage of the Dambusters Raid and the sacrifice of armed forces personnel during the Second World War. Beyond its symbolic representation, this watch is a precise and functional field timepiece, equipped with the high-performance and precise hybrid mechanics of the meca-quartz movement. This model has been specifically designed for a collaboration with the Royal British Legion, a British charity providing financial and social support to members and veterans of the British Armed Forces and their families.

Case: The watch has a round stainless steel case, a reference to aviation counters and measuring instruments. The 43 mm case has a prominent notched crown for easy handling of the movement. This model has a mineral crystal with a special anti-reflective coating.

Dial: Inspired by the instrumentation and colours of the cockpit of the legendary Avro Lancaster bomber, the dial of the Dambuster limited edition becomes a captivating study of the men and machine that played a key role in this defining event of the war. The dial features extra-large rectangular hour markers and thick numerals for enhanced legibility of the time in any circumstance. An additional counter at 6 o'clock completes the dial's aesthetic appeal, providing a second 24-hour reading. At 12 o'clock, the red poppy of the Royal British Legion Foundation marks this model and honours the service and sacrifice of the British armed forces.

Movement: The AV-4108-RBL model is equipped with the high-performance and precise hybrid meca-quartz movement. This Japanese movement combines robustness and reliability and is the perfect companion to the AVI-8 range, with a 24-hour counter.

Strap: This model is fitted with a genuine leather strap. It is embellished with beige cross-stitching. A pin buckle embellished with the red poppy closes the strap.

Water resistance: This AVI-8 watch has a water resistance of 5ATM, i.e. resistance to 50 metres. This corresponds to resistance to perspiration, splashes, rain and partial immersion, such as when swimming or showering. However, we recommend that you avoid all contact with water to ensure optimum preservation of the materials.
