Calling Aviation Buffs! Spitfire Automatic Pilot Watch

A non-hacking pilots watch?

very nice!!!! I need a 39mm version!

love the dial, rotor, crystal, etc.. but I don't love the fake rivets. but man, that dial... awesome.

Beautiful! Altho think I'll wait for the Messerschmitt 👍🏻

Gotta say, this is the nicest aviator I've seen in a couple decades. Particularly the thumbnail one with green markings.

Mark I agree 100%,these are beautiful, both colors work and the extra leather strap is awesome .Thank's for the showing,much appreciated . Wonder how much better they would look with the silicone oil inside the casing,do these watches have the rubber gaskets?

That Squale is the best watch in the video!

I know you're not the watchmaker, but why can't they just put in a NH35 or equivalent. It would then have the hacking function. With that said though, I heard the newer 8000 series miyota movements have since added the hacking function, so I wonder if they couldn't get a hold of those movements?

I like the design of this watch.

The dash of the Jaguar XK8 was styled after the Spitfire’s wings, with round vents to mimic the RAF rondel. The XK8 was manufactured in a factory that made Spitfires during WW2.

Appreciate the review Marc!

Smiths were the big supplier of cockpit dials for along time and producers of fuses for ordanance. Made watches in the UK for about 20 years as well. Made famous by Hillary,s summit of Everest in the 50,s who also took a Rolex with him.Sorry to be a bore! Cheers.!

It's a bit like a toy. Guess my oldest boy would like it a lot.

If you give me one for free, I'll post about your awesomeness to my 153 Instagram followers :)

An interesting design. I don't think I have seen it before. Watch is too big for me but was fun to look at. Thanks

The name avi-8 is a little on the nose. Still a very very cool watch

That is the coolest rotator!

Beautiful watch & great attention to detail ,thought you were gonna say miyota 9 .... nooooo the 8 series then i went soft {even tho i have an 8 series running at +1sec isn't the point) the styling & finish 0f that watch deserves a better grade movement ie: at very least 9 series. the other dimensions i'd happily live with & that rotor is the bomb..ah well but definitely the best looking aviator iv'e been drawn to.

How to choose? Both are magnificent. I want both.

Wow, nice rethink of a Flieger. I think I'll save up some and get one from you. I love the look!

Just wound prefer it hacked.

That is an awesomely styled watched. I really like the way they used the crown as a spinning propeller with the aircraft's wings done in relief on the side of the case.

Cool looking pieces for sure

Mark, Basel World cancelled...any thoughts?

Interesting dial if a little too busy / confusing. I like the green face and band color. Grey is not for me. I would miss the stop seconds ability. Cool rotor and display back. Thanks for showing them off.

Liking those a lot. Do like the Flieger patterns, and this just makes choosing my next one even more difficult 🤦‍♂️🤣

the watch is cool but completely overshadowed by that jazzy hoodie....just when you think he can't get any more Original G he hits you right between the eyes with another hoodie from heaven

missed opportunity for a propeller on the crown to match the wings on the side of the case

When are your Islander Pilot watches coming back into stock? The Isl-16 would definitely be my next Pilot watch purchase!

Very cool watches. Size is slightly large for me.

The ad during your video was for FAA pilot training, LOL.

I want the grey dial in the stainless case, that would be hawt

Love that rotor in the shape of the Supermarine Spitfire.
The rest of the watch is nice, too 👍

These are very nice

Damn, why’d they choose a base movement? I would have got one of these.

Two dials with interchanged hours and minutes marks, looks like original design, but completely mess for reading time. I would pass it. Just like that seiko flight master- complete mess i was thinking its citizen first :)

Lost me at 42mm diameter

Avi-8 had a watch after the P-51 Mustang using steel from actual Mustangs. This is not the same with old Spitfires, is it? Like the design on this one, though.

I think this is so gorgeous and the rotor is such a nice touch but that name brand is a little too on the nose for me!

Simulated rivets on the side, very cool.

Very good design and implementation. Thank you.

im looking to buy something on long island watch but i need to know if the price listed is set to my currency.(cad) could you confirm this?

I'm into dive watches, but, always wanted to get a fliegler type watch to put on a bund style strap. These are lovely, but, aren't flight watches supposed to hack by nature?

Nice fresh take on an aviation watch. It looks very thick though.

i like it but it looks a lot like the hamilton pilot day date

End of World...Orient...Timex...Seiko...

That mesh band looks gorgeous! Would love one for my Flight Master. Where can I get one?

I just got this watch. Are you setting the time per the manual, by rotating the crown clockwise? Or counterclockwise? Does it matter or would the mechanism damage? I hate how rotating it per the manual moves the time backwards instead of forwards.

Summa perumaiya pesu da…nalla dhaana irukku ? It’s something unique man…come on 🤷🏻‍♂️
