AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 AutomaticvsIWC Schaffhausen Iw328301 Pilots Watch Mark Xx Le Petit Prince

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic for its compelling designs and striking color schemes, with one owner noting the brand consistently prompts purchases. The $450 price point is considered good value, and the watch features a comfortable brown leather strap. However, the included NATO strap feels cheap and is too long for a 7" wrist. One owner reported inaccurate seconds hand movement, and the 15mm thick bronze case is noted as slightly thicker than expected. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic highly for its unique designs and value at the price point, despite some minor strap and case thickness observations.

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.
