The New AVI-8 Flyboy RBL Founder’s Chronograph Limited Edition: Vintage Pilot's Watch For The Future

The brand new AVI-8 Flyboy Royal British Legion Founder’s Chronograph Limited Edition is a special pilot’s watch for many reasons. First off, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Royal British Legion, a charity that has been helping and fighting for members of the British Armed Forces and their families for 100 years. Also this new watch is a new direction for AVI-8 as a company. They are known for their bold and futuristic pilot’s watches but with this set of new watches they have made 40mm vintage watches which is quite a departure.

Join me as I take you through the unique unboxing experience and as I go through all the elements of the watch (background, dimensions / specs, dial, hands, case, and strap) to make sure you get a great feel for this really awesome 40mm vintage pilot’s watch!

Once again, huge thanks to AVI-8 for access to the watch before the release!
