AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus AutomaticvsGeckota Pioneer Special Edition

The AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus Automatic is praised for its unique, multi-layered dial design and aviation theme, with owners finding its 45mm case sturdy and well-built, featuring a Miyota automatic movement. One owner specifically highlights great lume and a comfortable strap. However, the handless design makes it difficult to read, and at its price point, advanced technological sophistication is not expected. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Pegasus Automatic for its distinctive aviation-inspired dial and solid build at an accessible price.

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
