When you’ve got a penchant for aviation-themed timepieces as much as we do here at Coolector HQ, you inevitably wait with bated breath for the limited edition releases from the guys at AVI-8 and their latest, the fantastic-looking Flyboy Tuskegee Airmen Mecaquartz, truly is one of their most impressive and eye-catching to date and is available in four different colour combinations.
Perfectly priced at a wallet-friendly £283, the Flyboy Tuskegee Airmen Mecaquartz Limited Edition Watch from AVI-8 is an important timepiece released to support the mission and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. It is available on a strictly first come first serve basis so make sure you move fast if you like what you see with this one. And, let’s face it, it would be hard not to.
There is a great cause behind this release and proceeds from the sale of the Flyboy Tuskegee Meca-Quartz Limited Edition go towards the TAI Inc Charity and their important work through education, youth initiatives, and more, honouring and perpetuating the achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen. Each of these classy timepieces is perfectly proportioned and built solidly with clear lines of legibility and read out to ensure an always wearable timepiece, that is no less important and significant in its origin.
Acting as the beating heart to these watches from AVI-8 is the precise hybrid meca-quartz Japanese Seiko TMI movement, meaning that this watch commands functionality and utility without any sort of compromise. And the fact it can be on your wrist for under £300 is the real icing on the cake in our opinion. Each one comes packaged in a striking gift box with unique and eye-catching artwork of iconic Tuskegee Airmen from the various squadrons, specially created by designer Derrick Whitfield.
If aviation timepieces are your bag, this latest release from AVI-8 truly will be hard to beat from both a performance and visual perspective and their affordability is another mighty attractive feature of these devilishly dapper timepieces. Another great limited edition release from AVI-8 and one that is sure to sell out fast so get your skates on if you want one on your wrist this summer.
