AVI-8 MUSTANG P-51 BOTTISHAM

The Bottisham edition pays tribute to the 361st Fighter Group, 8th Air Force of the United States, which includes the 374th, 375th and 376th Fighter Squadrons, operating from RAF Bottisham Airfield Air Base.

In particular, the “Bottisham Four” was a famous photograph depicting four P51s in a majestic formation that perhaps became one of the most iconic representations of the possible air superiority of the Allies during the Second World War.

The AVI-8-branded watch in the P-51 realm is a beautiful watch that permeates the aesthetic landmarks of Mustang’s lines, details and shape.

Presentation

The AV-4069-02 series is an iconic edition of the British brand Avi-8. Made of 316L quality stainless steel, the Mustang case is corrosion resistant thanks to its low carbon structure.

Finally, displaying the date at 4 o’clock is a subtle complication … but still useful.

Details

The dial is an intriguing blend of depth and detail. We find matt yellow indexes, matched with great success on the green dial and the yellow tips of the hands. These colors were obviously not chosen at random. They refer to the wings of British aviation aircraft in the mid-twentieth century …

Another exciting detail: the 3-hour serrated crown is stamped with the Mustang P-51 logo. Easy to grasp and perfectly proportioned to the case of the watch, it highlights with the greatest success the case of 44 mm covered with a sapphire crystal.

Finally, fans will appreciate a real hand-stitched leather bracelet, offering a solid and comfortable on the long run: enjoy!
