A pumpkin-style crown adds a nod to the pilot watch design of the era & fuses effortlessly with the otherwise bolder lines of the case in keeping with the aesthetics of other Hurricane watches from AVI-8. Strapped with a robust, ribbon-like strap further nods to the ribbons as awards and tributes to the RAF's finest.
