What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph's airplane-inspired dial design and the comfortable, soft leather strap with a no-break-in clasp. However, one owner notes that the case, crown, and glass crystal fitment left much to be desired, feeling cheap, and the mineral glass is prone to scratching. The watch is considered overpriced for its features, though appealing when found on sale. On balance, owners find the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Retrograde Chronograph appealing for its unique dial and comfortable strap, despite concerns about case finishing and the mineral crystal.

Pinion Pure Bronze

The Pinion Pure Bronze is lauded for its refreshing design, featuring a beautiful layered dial with applied numerals and luminous indexes. Reviewers praise its satisfying manual-winding action from the Unitas 6498 movement, which offers a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer suggested a satin finish for the crown to match the case back and buckle. Overall, reviewers rate the Pinion Pure Bronze highly for its unique bronze case that patinates over time and its clear, subtly finished dial.
