Get ready to strap on a piece of aviation history with AVI-8's latest release—the Hawker Harrier Pegasus Automatic! This badass, all-black timepiece pays homage to the legendary Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine, affectionately known as the powerhouse behind the Harrier fighter aircraft that revolutionized vertical takeoff and landing.
This limited-edition watch is strictly limited to 500 units worldwide and rings up at a reasonable £350.
Under the Hood
The Hawker Harrier Pegasus Automatic flaunts a 44mm diameter, matte black stainless steel case—stadium-worthy size for those with large wrists. The case boasts a thickness of 16.5mm and comes equipped with a pull-out crown. Spot the uniquely engineered case back, adorned with turbine blade-inspired detailing that reflects the Pegasus jet engine, featuring the limited edition number engraved on it. Sapphire crystal glass with a scratch-resistant anti-reflective coating encases the bad boy, offering clarity and durability.
The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM), making it splash-proof but not a diving companion.
A Dial Designed for the Skies
The turbine-inspired dial mirrors the Pegasus engine's iconic motifs. The main dial and the small-seconds counter draw design influences from turbine blades, adding an edgy touch to this watch. The watch hands and indexes are Swiss luminous, ensuring legibility in any lighting conditions.
Find a second turbine design employed for the sub-dial placed at the 4 o'clock position, and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating shielding the dial.
