Let’s face it, most watches are just a way to tell time and remind you that you’re running late. But then, every so often, a timepiece comes along that’s more than just a watch—it’s a statement. It’s a subtle nod to historical events and a surefire way to look like a man of action, even if your biggest daily battle is with the office coffee machine. Enter the AVI-8 Battle of Britain 85th Limited Edition Watch Set.

For the modest sum of £357, you’re not just getting one watch, but two, because apparently, one simply isn’t enough to honour the heroes of the skies. This exclusive bundle, limited to a staggeringly rare 150 sets, is a dual tribute to two legends of the air: the iconic Spitfire and the formidable Hawker Hurricane.

The Spitfire Lock Chronograph and the Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph are both packed with enough historical gravitas to make your wrist feel important. With their robust stainless steel cases, anti-reflection coated mineral lenses, and genuine brown leather straps, these watches are built for a modern gentleman who appreciates vintage courage.

The Spitfire boasts a Japanese Meca-Quartz movement and luminous Swiss Newlite details, while the Hurricane features a Japanese Quartz Chronograph movement with Japanese Super Luminous accents. Both have sleek matte blue dials and are water-resistant to 5 ATM, perfect for that moment when you accidentally spill your celebratory pint. So, if you’re looking for a gift that says “I’m a man of taste, I respect history, and I know how to look good doing it,” this is it.
