AVI-8 Dambuster 80th Anniversary Royal British Legion Meca-quartz Limited Edition
Honoring the historic 80th anniversary of Operation Chastise and the valiant 617 Squadron, known as the Dambusters, AVI-8 presents the Dambuster 80th Anniversary Royal British Legion Meca-quartz Limited Edition watch.
This exclusive timepiece pays tribute to the daring and skilful operation undertaken by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. The mission, led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, involved surgically striking three major dams in Germany, demonstrating unparalleled bravery and technical brilliance.
The Dambuster Meca-quartz Limited Edition features a solid marine grade stainless steel case, measuring 43mm in diameter. The dial of this new timepiece draws inspiration from the cockpit instrumentation and colors of the legendary Avro Lancaster Bomber.
This watch houses a Japanese hybrid meca-quartz movement with a 24-hour subdial indicator. The design embraces the traditional poppy symbol, prominently displayed at the 12 o’ clock index and on the crown, as a heartfelt homage to the heroic sacrifices made.
Packaged with a certificate of authenticity, each watch is uniquely numbered and presented in a handsome custom gift box.
Available in five versions, this exclusive AV-8 watch is a limited-edition of 1,775 pieces in total.
