AVI-8 Flyboy Engineer Automatic Snoopy Flying AcevsVario 1918 Medic Brass

The AVI-8 Flyboy Engineer Automatic Snoopy Flying Ace is praised for its handsome pilot-style design, good build quality, and impressive dial detail with pixelated hands and hour markers featuring Swiss luminous material. Reviewers note its legible dial and comfortable leather NATO strap, powered by a Miyota 8215 movement. However, the 46mm case is considered larger than necessary, with a thick flange ring that detracts from the dial's proportional balance, and the 50m water resistance is not ideal for swimming. On balance, reviewers find the AVI-8 Flyboy Engineer Automatic Snoopy Flying Ace to be a fun and stylish pilot watch with good dial detail for its price.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
