OUR STORY

Founded in 2012, the AVI-8 brand inspiration and design excellence originates from the collaboration between pilots and engineers who served in air forces around the world. This combination of design, attention to detail, and passion has resulted in the success that is the AVI-8 story. Every collection is an explicit homage to the planes, people and history of military aviation. Each timepiece brings to life the detail and narrative of the inspiration to delight and engage the wearer.

Faster, Further, Higher - Aviation exemplifies man's desire to fly and soar above the earth…

The best engineers, scientists, designers and pilots have combined over the years to produce cutting edge machines that were designed for the crucial purpose of a country's defence. Drawing on the absolute best in materials and resources, a series of iconic planes have emerged over the years that serve as a benchmark to look upon in man's progress in the sky. Our collection of timepieces seeks to honour both the aircraft and the untold story of the airmen who have dedicated themselves both in and out of the cockpit to bring these incredible machines to life.

Our Mission

Instead of creating another pilot watch, we want to get a deeper look into the shape and form of an aircraft and tell some of the incredible stories behind aviation to help draw out the brand. The vision is to produce watches that are functional yet enjoyable to wear, which also tell a story of both man and machine. We would like to be one of the most respected watch brands in the world by delivering unparalleled excellence in design / specification / value in an ever competitive market. To present timepieces that are timeless yet always relevant in remembering the heroism of the many who have been involved in the chapters of aviation. To build a community of AVI-8 watch fans and enthusiasts globally and shed light on important and interesting facets of aviation history.

Founded in 1905, the Horween Leather Company is one of the most reputable leather tanneries around. Their excellence is clear, they are the official leather suppliers for both NFL footballs and NBA basketballs. Soft, durable and luxurious, this pairs perfectly for both vintage and modern timepieces.

Instruction Manual

 Please note our Horween straps are made with vegetable tanned leathers that naturally change in colour and texture over time. The leather is expected to darken in tone, providing a unique and rich patina.

From shoes worn by the US Marine Corps to NBA basketballs, the Horween Leather Company has consistently produced the highest quality leather since 1905.

This unique and amazing American heritage is what we have attempted to capture with our timepieces. Just like the Horween tannery, our hope is that as the timepiece ages, your watch can be passed on from one generation to the next as a family heirloom.
