Each year the guys at AVI-8 join forces with the Royal British Legion to come up with some limited edition watches to commemorate the bravery of our nation’s soldiers and they’ve really excelled themselves this year with their Dambuster series of timepieces. Released to commemorate the courage of the Dambusters Raid and the sacrifice of Armed Forces personnel during WWII, these watches don’t just look great but are also a fitting homage to one of the war’s most pivotal moments.
Priced at £255, the AVI-8 x RBL Dambuster Limited Edition Watches are available in five different colourways and for each sale, the team at AVI-8 will pledge a donation of £17 to the Royal British Legion as a homage to history, bravery, and sacrifice. Something we can certainly get on board with here at Coolector HQ.
The Dambuster Limited Edition collection from AVI-8 and the RBL is a precise and functional field timepiece that adds a statement to any man’s wrist. It draws inspiration from the cockpit instrumentation and colours of the legendary Avro Lancaster Bomber and the dial of the watch is a captivating study of both the men and the machine that played pivotal roles in this significant wartime event.
These first class, limited edition, watches are powered by a meca-quartz movement, which is a hybrid of mechanical and quartz technologies and it ensures that they are both robust and reliable. AVI-8 is rightly proud to stand alongside the Royal British Legion in supporting the Armed Forces community. They are have contributed over £55,000 to the Legion since 2021, which has helped provide vital services and support to veterans, serving personnel, and their families. The contribution from this Dambuster launch will further support the Legion’s unwavering commitment to the Armed Forces community.
