Reviewing A HYPER-FUTURISTIC Pilot's Watch! (AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Blue Nylon Limited Edition)

[@adrianbenenati7049]

The turbine design on the rotor is also super awesome

[@NomadicPhoton]

I quite like it also. This is an interesting watch, I like the aviation connection (I’m really interested in aviation) but I can’t decide if I’d actually like to wear it or not. Lol. Edit: the size.... its a bit too big for my taste. Lol.

[@FearAssassin23]

Just looked this piece up on their website and I think the piece of metal underneath the 0 index is a part of the fuselage of the jet itself. Such a cool detail!

[@Callediceman]

Pretty sure that that’s a fact as the metal card thing stated it has a piece of the plane on the watch. Kind of a shame it was overlooked on the video. Don’t worry Time Teller, nobody’s perfect lol!

[@rrowe1961]

They have done this in the past with a commemorative B-17 Limited Edition piece. I think in such a case, where an actual artifact is included the Limited Edition designation is entirely legitimate. For a former US Airman, it IS a historic piece, not just a sales technique.

[@TheApiedo]

This is the type of watch I'd buy, but only wear while working from home...

[@dietznutz1]

So true just like my Accutron ii in rose gold I don’t even really like it but I’m oddly attracted to strange watches plus it’s a bit of a collectors watch so I want to keep it mint

[@kenbtheman]

On 11 May 1969 a Royal Navy Phantom of 892 Naval Air Squadron set a new world air speed record between New York and London in 4 hours and 46 minutes. Makes the subsonic harrier look like slug, kinda like the watch.

[@debayeuxchats5607]

I'm in the minority, I really love this watchface. Very distinct, and I find it very readable. I don't know if it'd be my every day watch if I had it, but it's fun, and I love teal enough that it'd blend into my wardrobe.

[@MrMettwurst96]

my brother just got his. I kind of infect him with the watch-virus but he thought every "normal" watch was ugly. So i found this and he immediately fell in love with it. It's a good piece as far as i can tell and he's really happy with it. The rotor is a very nice detail as well

[@robertm8401]

Avi-8 has some really affordable models. May spring for one of the classic styled pilot styles someday.

[@glenbuyer8738]

I agree it’s too busy, the limited edition on the dial is really bad. For the price though, its certainly not a terrible piece

[@eduardoarosemena655]

Not enough watch for almost 600 US Dollars, Rather get a Hamilton or an Oris for a few hundreds more.

[@Lord_ofcinder]

an oris for 600 bucks ? arent they as expensive as rolexes ??

[@eduardoarosemena655]

Nope, Check Ebay, Chrono 24 or WatchBox and find great deals on Oris

[@glumfish6862]

@@Lord_ofcinder No most are 2-5k I think (most at least, you may find cheaper ones, this is a very rough estimation, I have only seen very few orises). Definitely more affordable than Rolex

Love your vids, watching from Egypt 🇪🇬

[@Peranak-Samaa]

My inner heart: nice, got automatic dail, fancy... My wallet: just buy Skmei

[@grod9976]

I love this watch. I still have it in my collection. Unfortunately, I misplaced the blue nylon strap… I have been trying to order a replacement strap for it, but I don’t think AVI-8 has the straps in stock anymore. 😞

[@jimt7292]

good review, kind of cool watch, the 52mm lug/lug is a bit big, also don't care for the 0 at the 12:00 position, but, all in all, $495 is fair price, it would interest me if the items I mentioned were different.

[@kevinmiller7184]

Thanks for this review. I have two "old school" AVI-8 Hawker Harriers, but this is a whole different beast. Individually, the design elements don't necessarily appeal to me, but in this combination, and with those complications, it kind of fascinates me.

[@WatchWitt]

I love this watch and have had my eye on it for some time. Thanks for the detailed video...pretty shots and great info!

[@thetimeteller]

I’m selling one for $275! Email: [e-mail]

[@CheesusCrustus]

​@@thetimeteller I'm guessing it already sold?

[@alexc.3727]

Hey Jory, have you ever come across Raketa watches? That's a Russian manufacturer based in Saint-Petersburg, and they've got some interesting designs, like their Avant-Garde, Copernicus, and Malevich models. Maybe you might pick one up for a review. They don't seem to be as popular amongst the watch enthusiast community as Vostok, for example.

[@najjimohammad9124]

Love soviet watches I just picked up a 1960’s Poljot with a tropical dial

[@NomadicPhoton]

Lol. I wear a 2609 Raketa dress watch on a daily basis. 1960s 👍🏻

[@flatty9159]

I have a"Spitfire". Super cool flieger with classic design. Really the only one I like from AVI-8.

[@markrushton6331]

I’ve never got the Hublot/Richard Mille thing of making a mechanical watch look like a G-shock; which is strange as I like G-shocks. This watch seems to be trying to look like a Casio but without the functionality.

[@larrybarth6052]

Have you noticed that seconds dial displays front view of the Harrier jet?

[@r.o.1330]

Somebody below commented about liking the rotor and I agree, it's very nice looking. May I suggest the team at AVI-8 put the rotor on the top of the watch and the hideousness that is the face on the bottom where it can't be seen.

[@adrianbenenati7049]

Such a unique complication and handset

[@Barbu66]

Is that nautical miles or statute miles? :-)

[@husseinn.3851]

I would have loved this when I was 10 , and playing super spy .

[@hw3345]

I had to hit the subscribe button for that plastic 😂😂😂

[@armandojuan64]

They have really nice watches , specially the chronographs . All their watches are aviation themed . There's a piece of metal from the plane under the O at 12 o'clock .

[@tdrawley]

Great review as always. You should ask AVI-8 to send you one of their Spitfire automatics to review. Its much more of a conventional watch but is also great. Its a different take on the type B flieger. On the subject of the seconds subdial, its actually the front profile view of a harrier which is rolling in flight, and hacks too (which is a little redundant given that there are no second markers). I love this watch, but then I am an aviation nut case so it appeals.

[@najjimohammad9124]

I love it because it reminds me of a Accutron with the green and all but has its own features. Not a fan of the handset though. Unique strap too 🔥🔥

[@gary-pv8vz]

Nope. Cluttered dials are not my thing. Looks like they are trying too hard. I did like the plastic removal though.

[@Tikimohn]

Didn't know 741 was the Harrier designation. I know XV is the experimental prefix attached to projects in development/experimental phases.

[@tiburonski]

First I thought...OMG oh no....but after the review and the details and the rotor...I thought well it could be perfect for the modern version of the blade runner movie! 👍🏻🤩 🚀

[@JohnFrancis66]

They were "...so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

[@alexandredeoliveirapenna198]

When I see this watch I get some felling of newer g-shocks design like GA-2000 mixed with Neo Tokio g-shock colorset

[@airportworker_fra]

Wondering why you did not mention the piece of metal under the 12/0 marker?

[@wbwarren57]

You missed the point of this watch entirely! This watch is about the future! And apparently, the future is really stupid.

[@Zangetsuis1]

Hey is this a Limited Edition?

[@freedomwatches2454]

[@carlitoxb110]

Wait Let me check the dial

[@Zangetsuis1]

I tried to give this video a double like, but KZbin isn't set up for that capability just yet. Liking the Microbrand Monday's T3, keep up the great work. :)

[@Falcon-qu7ik]

Anyone else wondering where the piece of the original Harrier is incorporated into the watch? Is it possible that it's the area bordering the zero?

[@heiner71]

Could be the area around and underneath the zero. It looks corroded.

[@Falcon-qu7ik]

@@heiner71 yeah that's what I was thinking

[@Namka19]

Love it. Gonna buy it. Or one of the variations of this model.

[@kelvinle8662]

Color you are looking for is sea-foam green, at least for the lume on the hands.

[@stephens2r338]

They say that each watch contains a small part off the actual aircraft. Could that part be the metal background behind the O

[@zac7530]

What’s your opinion on cheese ?

[@samiam619]

Goes great on pizza!

[@oztiger5663]

Sometimes it's stinky

[@theopulentlife889]

Borrows some Elements from the Ulysse Nardin Freak watch but overall very unique and interesting. Also if you look at it from the front Jory you'll see it actually looks an airplane on the dial with the seconds looking like an engine and the 24 hour dial looks like the nose of a plane also. I think they made this subtle on purpose, or I a may be imagining it...lol

[@GoodGuyMatty]

I hit the like button twice for the plastic peel

[@sonnyedward6282]

Can't find an another brand with a 0 on the twelfth position, and I really like those... Going to pull the trigger on a flyboy soon...

[@allegedkurd]

Not to mention the US designation of the Harrier is AV-8

I'm shaking with excitement when u tear off that plastic 😆

[@MadMax76er]

Love the rotor, the rest of it? Not so much

[@mitchellsumpter4807]

What’s going on at the ‘0’? Unusual finish on the metal under the actual number.

[@vailmcc]

I saw that too, Mitchell.. didn’t the metal card say something about each watch having a piece of the original aircraft? Maybe that’s it..

[@thetimeteller]

Bingo!

[@ilyasmoulayramdanemoulat1624]

Nice unique watch

[@fernavarro5665]

You overlooked the pice of plane included in the watch

[@Mikes_momo]

That little girl noise you made when you saw the lume though 🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣😀

[@lawcane]

AV-8 is more mushroom than micro, I've read. The only time I like a busy dial is on a multi function Casio.

[@Watchtrain]

The 50th anniversary version of this watch simply says Hawker Harrier where this one says Limited Edition. Much better branding if you ask me.

[@ScottAlanAnderson]

Meh... Haven't seen anything from Avi-8 that impresses me.

[@phil5611]

Although a limited edition (thankfully) there are still 741 of these horological horrors out there. Very depressing.

Also, what are your thoughts on the Yema Rallygraf Reverse Panda? Worth buying? Or should I buy something else using that money? And as always, amazing video. Awesome watch

[@ashoat2388]

Some of the designs in the series, like the Ghost Grey, have elements that I really like - big date, 0-20 min arc... But I think they go a little too far on models like this, with the “0”, the “limited edition”. But that Ghost Grey...

[@Mario_N64]

This seems more like a novelty watch. Only a step up from dropshipping brands.

[@DJ-jx1yt]

Why would they put limited edition on the watch? How did they think that was a good idea I have some thoughts but they don't seem valid.

[@brandondacquisto8514]

The Admiral Blue Steel is a much better color way.

[@stevewarren4292]

T3 says, "Not my cup of tea..." I'm thinking "fashion watch" or maybe "dumpster fire".

[@christiaanbotha6247]

You should really do some introduction to fixing watches.

[@michaelzuccardo5414]

Interesting watch, which I imagine might be appreciated by pilots. Personally, I thinks the dial is a bit too busy for me, too much stats and writing. Leave that sh_t for the case back!

[@adiefatlady]

Not for me. Not overpriced if you like it though. Too big unless you like the chunk and have the wrists. Teal and cerise interesting colour choice on a otherwise masculine watch; wonder what they are based on. I think that’s a piece of the harrier in question below the 0 marker.

[@smrtkscm]

Not for me. I currently prefer my Direnzo DRZ 03 :)

[@gregsnyder4268]

Things that make you go...”eh”

[@VersedNJ]

Same company as Spinnaker and a few other sub brands, theye should have went with a Myota 9000 series movement. I've seen worse. More of a trinket watch than anything else.

[@aaronbourque6379]

AVI-8. Purchased a quartz Chrono. With a new battery it still ran 10 mins slow per day. Stopped intermittently. Returned it and will never ever purchase another. Garbage!!

[@triviace]

[@alanwright3172]

Great idea, poorly executed as with most modern AV-8 watches, I have an older AV-8 sport with a beautiful champagne dial but the modern watches seem to have lost their way😞

[@pradeep2662]

Limited edition written all over the watch. I observed many English manufacturers do that. Whats going on there lol.

[@Bawrabawla]

fuck. this is why I stopped watching this channel. Now i have to stop myself from buying this watch. This is so perfect. If this was a bit smaller stopping myself would not have been possible lol.

[@stevefox8605]

Don't like the colours (actual colours used on the aircraft itself would be better), but the idea behind it is very cool (I'm an English Aviation fan, Friends of Duxford). Should have used a 9000 rather than a 8000 miyota at this price point. Cool watch, but wouldn't buy one because of the above. Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@stake6957]

I love this watch for all the little Easter eggs it drops for the aviation race. But the watch design itself is kind ...hit or miss for me. Not 100%sold on it.

[@mahboobahmad9743]

I have one of there more classically styled pilot watch and I do have a soft spot AV-8. This one is very nice and has some cool aspects to it such as the second hand and rotar. However, I would rather spend $500 on something else and the limited edition on the dial...A Big turn off!!!

Great Video, actually this is a limited addition recognizing the U.S. Airforce's charitable nature for the British who were feeling a little smaller due to NASA's domination of the Space Race, the Chief's of Staff instructed the provision of some Booster Jet technology to the British Aerospace industry came shortly after the English made Airliner had crashed and killed 50 or so folks, the Air Force engineers pointed out the Window Design created cabin depressurization. The English Minister of Defense was outraged and threated removing U.S. Air Force Bases from India and Ghana. The Harrier Victory over the Phantom and the French Mirage was more a Political agreement than an Air Race. The French were never so proud, and really made the best Fighter, hence the reason Israel used the Mirage instead of the U.S. Phantom or the Harrier, they sort of cooperated with the U.S. in helping the English keep a stiff upper lip!
