The Eagle Squadrons were three fighter squadrons in the Royal Air Force that were manned by volunteer pilots from the United States during the early days of World War II (prior to America's entry into the war in December 1941).
The AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Bronze Automatic pays tribute to the Eagle Squadron as classic pilot watch forged out of a classic silhouette. It is imagined as a wearable homage to this chapter in the heroism of military aviation.
A 39mm diameter case with a 22mm lug width sits comfortably on the wrist in a proportion true to the pilot watches worn during the war. A flat sapphire lens offers a scratch-resistant clear window to the dial.
The dial itself offers legibility and clarity with a cutaway double-layer sandwich dial offering up Swiss luminous hour indexes.
Blunt-shaped hour and minute hands are generously lumed for low-light visibility. The Eagle Squadron is powered by a custom modified Seiko TMI NH35 self-winding automatic movement. It is water resistant to 50 meters.
The watch hugs the wrist with a vintage, horizontal hand-stitched leather strap. It also comes with another genuine leather Natostyle strap.
The Flyboy Eagle Squadron Bronze makes for a superb watch for enthusiast and collector alike.
