AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 AutomaticvsRedux COURG: Type-A

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.

Owners report a matte black dial with vintage numerals and RDXb1 blue lume on the 39mm titanium case. One owner notes deep corrosion on the case back, while another flags the RDXb1 lume as brilliant but short-lived and describes the crown stem as flimsy with a unidirectional bezel that has slight play. Overall, owners find the Redux COURG: Type-A to be a rugged, utilitarian tool watch, though some specific components like the lume and bezel action draw mixed commentary.
