AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited EditionvsBoldr Odyssey Freediver

The AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition is praised for its comfortable 39mm proportions and the warm, evolving character of its bronze case, with some noting the potential for undesirable bronze patina. One owner highlights the legible dial and inner GMT complication, considering the 41mm case, 48.5mm lug-to-lug, and 13mm thickness to be great dimensions, though the stock leather strap and lug hole placement are flagged as limitations. Another owner points out that the lume looks great after a charge. On balance, owners appreciate the AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition for its distinctive bronze case and wearable dimensions at its price point.

The 44mm case is surgical-grade steel with a brushed finish and angular lugs, water-resistant to 300 meters. It houses a Miyota 9075 movement with a jumping local hour function. On balance, reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Freediver's thoughtful case finishing and functional movement with a local hour complication.
