03The community take

Owners talk.

“

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.
