AVI-8 Machbuster Chronograph Watch

April 3, 20251 min read

Want to feel like you’re strapped into the cockpit of the Bell X-1, the plane that told the sound barrier to “hold my beer”? Then slap on the AVI-8 Machbuster Chronograph Watch (£274). This isn’t just a watch; it’s a wrist-mounted tribute to speed, innovation, and probably a few brave test pilots with nerves of steel.

While it might not actually help you break the sound barrier (unless you’re planning on throwing your arm really hard), its advanced meca-quartz chronograph movement offers impressive precision. Perfect for timing everything from your morning commute to how long it takes your toast to burn. With its bold aviation-inspired design, you’ll look like you know your way around a cockpit, even if your most daring flight involves navigating the rush hour bus. So, ditch the dull timepieces and embrace your inner Chuck Yeager. Just try not to go too fast.
