AVI-8 24-Jewel Automatic Bottisham Limited Edition P-51 Mustang #AV-4069-01

The AV-4069 has a 43mm diameter case that features a curved crown guard with detailing that references the engine exhaust of the P-51 Mustang aircraft. The case has fine brush finishing on the bezel with articulated lugs that flow fluidly into the bulbous yet streamlined case shape. The slightly convex sapphire crystal provides an aerodynamic profile in shape and form.

The dial takes its cues from the cockpit and outer insignia of the Mustang. A multi-layered dial offers up cutaway arabic markers at the 3, 6, 9 and 0 hours with baton markers in-between. The effect is a clearly marked, no-nonsense dial layout that speaks to immediate legibility. Each hour and minute marker, along with the sword shaped hands, are generously coated with high grade Swiss luminescent material for low light visibility and clarity. The watch is powered by a 24-Jewel Japanese automatic movement that is viewable via an exhibition window case back.

The genuine leather strap that hugs the wrist is custom designed and offers subtly stitched details to continue the overall aesthetic harmony of the watch. For even greater versatility, each watch comes with an additional nylon and canvas, Velcro-release cuff-like strap. This option provides a snug, ever more comfortable and durable fit, ensuring that the P-51 Mustang Automatic Bottisham Edition is no mere souvenir but a truly robust piece of aviation inspired watchmaking.

Each watch is uniquely numbered as part of a limited edition of 1490 pieces.

Hard buy	February 29, 2020
Reviewer: Michael Siek from Fredericksburg, VA United States

Once I did my research and watched reviews, this watch was a definite hard buy. I was not even remotely disappointed even by a few of the negative aspects communicated by professional reviewers. It’s a beautiful watch, eye-catching, certainly basic in a technical sense, but I am not even remotely regretting the purchase or price. Classy watch, fits nice on someone with small wrists as well, low profile, and looks great.
