AVI-8 AV-4147-11: the timepiece inspired by the Spitfire

The AVI-8 AV-4147-11 draws its inspiration from the world of British aviation and, more specifically, from the on-board instruments of the legendary Spitfire. This automatic watch reflects this influence through a clear and structured time display, designed as a true navigation tool.

A technical dial with excellent legibility

The dial is laid out much like a flight instrument, with each element precisely positioned. The hands move smoothly thanks to a Japanese automatic movement, providing a natural and continuous display of the hours, minutes and seconds.

This visual layout allows information to be quickly distinguished, even in a moving environment.

A substantial and protective case

With a diameter of approximately 42 mm and a substantial thickness, the stainless steel case makes a solid statement on the wrist. It effectively protects the movement whilst reinforcing the watch’s robust identity.

The slightly domed, hardened mineral crystal adds visual depth to the dial whilst improving resistance to everyday wear and tear.

A reliable automatic movement

At the heart of the AV-4147-11 lies a Japanese automatic movement renowned for its precision. It operates without a battery, winding itself naturally with the movements of the wrist.

This technical choice reinforces the link between watchmaking tradition and contemporary use.

Comfort and balance on the wrist

The watch is fitted with a strap designed to ensure a secure fit, with a width that perfectly balances the case. The overall design offers a sense of stability without compromising comfort during extended wear.

Water resistance suitable for everyday use

With a water resistance of 50 metres (5 ATM), the AVI-8 AV-4147-11 withstands splashes and everyday use. However, it is not intended for prolonged water activities.

A watch with a bold character

The AV-4147-11 does not seek to be discreet. It is aimed at enthusiasts of technical watches, drawn to designs inspired by aeronautical engineering.

Its strong identity, combined with a reliable automatic movement and solid construction, makes it a distinctive piece in the world of aviation watches.
