The Avi-8 Flyboy Spirit Of Tuskegee Limited Edition Anderson Chronograph Watch AV-4109-01 is a remarkable tribute to the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. This timepiece is not just a wearable item of horological craftsmanship; it is a piece of history, commemorating the incredible story of Captain Matthew Quy and his wife Tina, who restored a vintage Stearman biplane used in training the Tuskegee Airmen. Renamed the "Spirit of Tuskegee," this aircraft became a symbol of courage, determination, and the enduring spirit of these pioneering aviators as the Quys flew it to air shows to educate the public about the Airmen's significant contributions.

Limited to just 860 pieces, this watch symbolizes the courage and spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen, ensuring that their legacy continues to inspire through the Quys' dedication. Avi-8 commits to supporting the future of aviation history and education by donating 10% of the net sales from each timepiece to support the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.'s youth programs and educational initiatives.

The watch features a Japanese Meca-quartz Chronograph movement, offering the precision and reliability of quartz combined with the tactile feedback of a mechanical chronograph. Housed in a stainless steel case measuring 44.0 mm in diameter and 15.0 mm in thickness, it strikes a perfect balance between presence and comfort. The lug to lug width of 50.0 mm ensures a secure and imposing fit on the wrist.

The black dial, set against applied indexes with Japanese luminous material, offers exceptional legibility and a nod to the functionality required of aviator watches. Protected by an anti-reflective coated mineral lens, the watch is designed to be readable in various lighting conditions, a crucial feature for any pilot.

This special edition watch comes equipped with a 22mm black genuine leather strap, adding a touch of elegance and durability. Additionally, an extra red nylon strap is included, offering versatility and the opportunity to personalize the look to match the wearer's style or to commemorate the vibrant spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen.

With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, this watch is capable of withstanding splashes or brief immersions in water, making it suitable for everyday wear. Weighing 90 grams, it offers a comfortable yet significant presence on the wrist. Each timepiece comes with a 2-year international warranty, assuring quality and reliability.

The Avi-8 Flyboy Spirit Of Tuskegee Limited Edition Anderson Chronograph Watch AV-4109-01 is more than a timekeeper; it's a tribute to heroism, a lesson in history, and a beacon of inspiration, embodying the spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen and the dedication of those who work to preserve their legacy.
