AVI-8 Flyboy Centenary 1940-Ref# 4059 Automatic-100th Anniversary RAF

AVI-8 FLYBOY CENTENARY AV-4059
A slightly more contemporary and familiar look can be found in the '40s-inspired AVI-8 Flyboy Centenary AV-4059. Featuring less decorative elements, the watch demonstrates a shift to strictly utilitarian design, which is common in pilot watches produced throughout WWII. Also at 42mm, the AV-4059 is fitted with a slightly more textured dial with a crosshair pattern, 5 o'clock seconds sub-dial, and numerals that highlight minutes instead of the hours. Large sword hands treated with Super-LumiNova contrast well against the dark dial tones (a cream-colored option is available) and an onion-style crown tops off the archetypal pilot's watch look. Like the AV-4058, water resistance is 50m and the watch is powered by the Miyota 8218 with a customized AVI-8 rotor.
