The Retrograde Chronograph pays suitable tribute to the famed jet without being cluttered and fussy in its carefully considered design. The Retrograde edition seemingly brings the instrument panel and cockpit of the Hawker Hunter to the wrist of the wearer with a homage and representation that is still utterly practical and balanced as a timepiece.
This 45mm watch captures the essence of the Hawker Hunter's instrument panel with its multi-layered dial and skeletonized hands that allow for legible timekeeping even amidst the detailed layout. The sea gray colorway, combined with the leather strap, adds a touch of sophistication while maintaining the watch's aviation-inspired heritage. The unique retrograde minutes counter, mimicking an altimeter, adds a functional and visually appealing element to the watch's face.
Powered by a Japanese Epson chronograph quartz movement, this watch ensures accuracy for both everyday use and for those who appreciate the finer points of timing. With a 5 ATM water resistance, it's suitable for daily adventures without the worry of water damage. The AVI-8 AV-4052-03 not only tells time but tells a story of flight, making it a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
