AVI-8 Men's AV-4024-01 Lancaster Bomber Stainless Steel Watch with Leather Band

The strap is a little lighter brown than the picture suggests. Regardless, this is a great watch for a great price. The Avi-8 website lists this watch at $400. UPDATE: It's been one full year now since purchasing. The leather band has become very nicely broken-in and fits my wrist perfect. No problems at all with the watch itself, mechanical or otherwise.

The watch arrived in good time, after a bit of miss-information about it being lost in transit and/or returned to Amazon, and confusion from the I-Parcel service.An impressive piece of kit - definitely not for a small wrist - at 44mm X 12mm approximately. A nice looking watch and a fitting tribute to the mighty Lancaster Bomber of WW2. As a son of a Lancaster pilot I was determined to get one of these and although it is quite expensive compared to some more conventional watches, even at Amazon's discounted price, I was happy with my purchase. The stopwatch function is a bit pointless as the dials are too small to read, or resolve, to be much use, but they look quite good anyway. As someone may have pointed out, the night visibility is non-existent as at best, the numbers illuminate (luminous paint) but the hands do not as far as I can see. Time will tell - no pun intended. Hopefully it will last the distance and not fly to bits like a poor Lancaster struck by flak. My thanks to the members of Bomber Command and the Lancaster bombers that they flew - to which this watch is dedicated.

The band is definately lighter colored than in the picture and has a somewhat suede finish and looks a bit cheap. The watch face is somewhat shiny and plasticky looking. The left most subdial is the second hand for the chronometer and when reset is offset a bit so it starts one second before the 60 mark. (There may be a way to fix this but I did not read the manual).At first glance it looks like a nice enough watch and I like the layout of the face but after closer inspection I think it looks a bit cheap. Especially considering the price. After an initial perusal of the watch I am going to return it. I cannot speak as to its time keeping accuracy.

very happy with this watch.

Very light on my wrist compared to my other watch. Keeps time well so far. Strap a little lighter than the picture but I actually prefer the color.Wish they would make a Spitfire watch to go along with the Hurricane and Lancaster. Only have a seafire so far.

Looks great ! Pleasure to wear it and show it off.

Band is lighter than thought. Otherwise, great watch, face looks great!

Rugged well built watch. Good feel. Poor night light visability.

It has a good balance between design quality and price. Fast delivery and good seller.
