AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane AutomaticvsAVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition

Owners praise the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic for its aviation-themed design, thin bezel, and colorful subdials, with one owner finding it a good value at $134 CAD. However, some owners note that the chronograph pushers can stick, and the 44mm size wears large with a difficult-to-read date window. One owner was disappointed to find a Chinese DG-3809-3D movement instead of an expected Japanese automatic, though still considers it a keeper for $141. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Automatic well for its value and aviation-inspired aesthetics, despite some noted functional and sizing caveats.

Owners are divided on the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition's design, with one calling it "horrible" and not a collector's item, while another finds it more meticulous than previous models, though still too busy and large. The watch features an NH34 movement with a 24-hour GMT function, measuring 42mm in diameter and 16mm thick. Owners also question the high resale prices. On balance, owners express significant reservations about the design and value proposition of the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition.
