AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin AutomaticvsIWC Schaffhausen Iw328301 Pilots Watch Mark Xx Le Petit Prince

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

The IWC Schaffhausen Iw328301 Pilots Watch Mark Xx Le Petit Prince is widely praised for its improved wearability, featuring a more balanced dial and shorter lug-to-lug distance than its predecessor. Owners and reviewers highlight its legibility, handsome Pilot's Watch aesthetics, and comfortable 40mm case size. The automatic caliber 32112 movement offers a five-day power reserve, and the watch boasts 100m water resistance. Some owners find the blue dial incredible and the strap system convenient for changes, appreciating the watch's style and lifetime durability. However, the EasX-CHANGE strap system limits strap choices to IWC's own offerings, and some prefer the dial design or perceived reliability of the Mark XVIII. One owner noted the date wheel placement was slightly too close to the center.
