AVI-8 have just launched the Spitfire Smith Automatic Bronze Editions with three distinct variants to embody the spirit of innovation and legacy synonymous with the iconic Spitfire aircraft, an aviation legend, coupled together with a bronze twist to make them stand out.
The new Bronze collection’s three variants include a Distressed Blue, Distressed Black and Oxidized Bronze, and all three timepieces are fitted with a sapphire lens and powered by the reliable NH35 Japanese automatic movement.
The Oxidised Bronze version stands out with its antique finish, giving it a vintage charm and features a full lume dial for optimal visibility in even the poorest of lighting conditions. Embodying the spirit of the legendary Spitfire, each watch has been crafted with precision and features a unique distressed dial finish inspired by the rugged texture of aircraft exteriors.
The Distressed Blue version has a 42mm stainless steel case and bezel with bronze plating, while the Distressed Black and Oxidized Bronze versions have an all-bronze construction. The Oxidized Bronze version with its antique finish gives it an appealing vintage feel. Each timepiece has a pull out crown, three Swiss luminous hands and date function.
All three versions are fitted with a genuine 22mm wide leather strap with a buckle and are water resistant to 50 metres, making them the perfect everyday companion for aircraft enthusiasts and watch collectors alike, capturing the essence of aviation excellence. The transparent caseback even has a mini spitfire as part of the movement as you can see from the photograph above.
For more information on the new Spitfire Smith Automatic Bronze Edition collection, which are available to buy from between £390 to £490 and come with a 2 year warranty and quality gift presentation box, please visit Avi-8.co.uk.
