What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic

Owners widely praise the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic for its 3D instrument-panel aesthetic and premium feel, noting satin-brushed case sides, a polished bezel, and a knurled crown. However, the lume is considered a gimmick with limited strength and longevity, and some find the 42mm, over 13mm thick watch chunky on a 7" wrist. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Baldwin Automatic highly for its distinctive dial design and build quality at the price point.

Bremont Argylle

The Bremont U-2 JET is praised for its exceptional accuracy, running between +0 and +1 seconds per day. It features a black DLC-treated steel case with a knurled aluminum mid-section and a smoked sapphire display caseback. The dial incorporates hash marks and Arabic numerals with tinted lume, complemented by heat-blued steel hands. The inner timing ring is bi-directional and operated by a crown at 4:00, which is described as satisfying to use but awkward on the wrist. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Bremont U-2 JET's precise timekeeping and distinctive case construction.
