Some watches just tell the time. Others tell a story. The AVI-8 Patriot Automatic VE-Day 80th Limited Edition Watch? It practically shouts a history lesson, in the best possible way, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

This timepiece is meticulously designed to capture the spirit of triumph. It’s got a reliable Japanese Automatic movement in a 43mm Stainless Steel case with a Cream dial, Sapphire Lens, and a Brown Leather Strap. But the victory is in the details: the date wheel replaces “8” with a bold “V”, a literal nod to May 8th and Churchill’s salute. There’s subtle Morse code for ‘V’ on the dial. And because subtlety isn’t always necessary, Winston Churchill’s VE-Day speech is engraved right there on the caseback. With 5 ATM water resistance (ready for celebratory splashes!), this watch is a tribute to resilience. For £392, wear history on your wrist, complete with motivational etching.
