Description

OVERVIEW With the bold cockpit instrumentation inspired case design the Hawker Hunter collection remains a timepiece forged out of true avionic design detail. Carved and forged out of marine grade 316 L Stainless Steel and measuring 42mm in diameter the watch opens up at the lens to display a unique dial design that echoes the machined engineered elements of the Hunter s breakthrough jet design engine. The octagonal case itself is replete with polishing detail such as that found on each lug that elevates the timepiece from a pure military inspired timepiece to one that shows of the care and attention paid by the watchmaker to the final product. Masking the date and day display the serrated turbine inspired layer of dial application adds a magnificent amount of depth and complexity while leaving clarity and legibility untouched. For the astute observer both day and date fonts have been reprinted to pay homage to 1950s and 1960s typography actually found on Hawker Hunters of the time. Bold uniquely tooled hour and minute hands read the time off with clarity and utter precision with a contrast colour detailing on the seconds hand. The crown guard to the right of the watch references the front view of the Hunter s intakes while the roundel embalmed on the crown adds another element of interest for the wearer. Hugging the watch to the wearers wrist is a vintage designed hand stitched leather strap which marries perfectly with the neo-classic aviation sensibilities found on the Hunter Day Date AV 4057 SPECIFICATION MOVEMENTJapan Quartz 3 Hands with Date amp Day DIALIP Black Dial With Luminous Applied Index CASE Size 45mm Round Stainless Steel Case Thickness 12 mm Lug to Lug 55mm Crystal Mineral Lens WATER RESISTANCE 5ATM 50M 165ft BAND22mm Brown Genuine Leather Strap with Strap Buckle INSTRUCTION MANUAL DOWNLOAD HERE SIZE CHART VIEW IN ACTUAL SIZE
