Description

The AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Newton Automatic Watch AV-4094-01 is a distinguished timepiece that commemorates the valor and success of Flight Commander John Kent and the famed 303 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. Flying the robust Hawker Hurricanes, the 303 Squadron emerged as one of the most formidable units in the Royal Air Force, achieving the highest number of victories in this pivotal conflict. This watch celebrates their legacy, integrating elements inspired by the iconic aircraft and the squadron's remarkable history.

At the core of the Kent Newton Automatic is a reliable Japan Automatic movement featuring three hands and a date function, offering both precision and practicality. The movement ensures accurate timekeeping, a nod to the precision required in the heat of battle. The stainless steel case, measuring 43 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm in thickness, provides a sturdy and elegant frame for the watch, symbolizing the durability and resilience of the Hawker Hurricane.

The lug-to-lug measurement of 50 mm guarantees a comfortable and secure fit, making this timepiece suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. Covering the dial is a sapphire lens with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal legibility under various lighting conditions and offering resistance to scratches, much like the resilience of the 303 Squadron pilots.

The dial features applied indexes, enhancing the watch's readability and aesthetic appeal. These details, along with the design of the watch, pay homage to the instrumentation of the Hawker Hurricane, reflecting the functionality and spirit of the aircraft that played a crucial role in the defense of Britain.

Complementing the case is a 22mm genuine leather strap, adding a touch of elegance and comfort to the watch. The choice of material and color of the strap draws inspiration from the era of the Battle of Britain, reflecting the sophistication and bravery associated with the pilots of the 303 Squadron.

With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, the watch is capable of withstanding splashes and brief immersions in water, making it suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or diving. Weighing in at 120 grams, it strikes a perfect balance between heft and comfort, ensuring a pleasing presence on the wrist throughout the day.

The AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Kent Newton Automatic Watch AV-4094-01 does not come with an extra band, emphasizing its singular design and the unique tribute it pays to the heroes of the 303 Squadron. This timepiece is not just a means to tell time; it is a wearable piece of history, a testament to courage, determination, and the enduring spirit of those who fought in the skies during the Battle of Britain.
