Hands-On: AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic
Even if you?re not a hardcore aviation nerd, the Spitfire is one of the most recognizable planes in history. Featuring sleek lines, a single prop in the front, an olive green paint job, and those iconic shark teeth under the engine, the Spitfire is a classic. It?s no wonder that AVI-8, a brand known for its aircraft-inspired designs, turned to the Spitfire as an influence for their new design. The Spitfire Type 300 is an automatic pilot-style watch that?s 42mm wide with a unique dial that plays with depth and lume, and features subtle cues throughout the design that hint at the Spitfire aircraft.

Let?s take a closer look at this new offering from AVI-8.
