AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes AutomaticvsBremont MB Savanna

Owners report the chronograph buttons on the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic can stick, though it functions well as a daily wearer with a clean dial and good quality stitched leather band. The 44mm case features well-curved lugs, and a hacking seconds subdial is present, but the date window is small and difficult to read. The watch uses an undecorated Chinese DG-3809-3D movement, which some owners found disappointing compared to expectations of a Miyota. Overall, owners consider the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic a good value keeper for its pilot design and $141 price point.

The Bremont MB Savanna is praised for its wearability, with a 43mm titanium case that wears well due to moderate height and short, curved lugs. Reviewers note its all-matte titanium case with a warm gray, non-reflective finish or matte anthracite coating, and a grey dial. The BE-36AE movement is chronometer-certified and features a reinforced winding bridge and a custom gray date wheel. One owner noted slight marks on the case sides and back, rating the overall condition at 95%. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Bremont MB Savanna for its comfortable titanium case design and robust, chronometer-certified movement.
