AVI-8 has always been dedicated to creating timepieces that celebrate aviation history, and their latest partnership with Imperial War Museums takes this dedication to new heights. Introducing the AVI-8 Carey Dual Time Imperial War Museums Edition Watch, priced at $252—a timepiece that honours the stories and artefacts of wartime aviators, preserving their legacy for future generations. This watch, along with three others in the collection, is a fitting tribute to the bravery and innovation of those who took to the skies during times of conflict.
The Carey Dual Time is inspired by the legendary Hawker Hurricane aircraft, and its design embodies the rugged spirit and ingenuity of wartime aviation. With a 43.5mm stainless steel case and a thickness of 12mm, the watch is built to be durable yet comfortable on the wrist. The black dial features applied indexes with Japanese Super Luminous coating, ensuring readability even in low-light conditions. The mineral lens adds to the watch’s durability, making it suitable for everyday wear while preserving its timeless aesthetic.
Powered by a reliable Japanese Quartz Chronograph movement, the Carey Dual Time watch combines precision with practicality. The pull-out crown allows for easy adjustment, while the dual-time function makes it ideal for travellers or those who appreciate the convenience of tracking multiple time zones. The watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, providing peace of mind for those unexpected encounters with water.
The 22mm genuine leather strap in brown adds a touch of vintage charm, perfectly complementing the watch’s aviation-inspired design. The combination of the stainless steel case and the rich leather strap creates a versatile look that can easily transition from casual to formal settings. The lug-to-lug measurement of 50mm ensures a comfortable fit on most wrists, making the Carey Dual Time a practical and stylish choice for watch enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
AVI-8’s collaboration with Imperial War Museums is a celebration of the courage and innovation of wartime aviators. Each watch in this collection—including the Carey Dual Time, P-51 Mustang Blakeslee Chronograph, Hawker Hurricane Classic Chronograph, and Spitfire Lock Chronograph—captures the essence of its namesake aircraft, meticulously crafted to honour their legacy. The Carey Dual Time is more than just a watch; it is a piece of history, a tribute to the heroes of the past, and a reminder of the resilience and determination that defined an era.
With its combination of historical significance, thoughtful design, and reliable functionality, the AVI-8 Carey Dual Time Imperial War Museums Edition Watch is a must-have for those who appreciate the rich history of aviation and the timeless stories of bravery that continue to inspire us today.
