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.

Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton

The Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is noted for its skeletonized dial and the use of BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova for legibility. It is powered by a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, offering a 44-hour power reserve. On balance, the Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is seen as a cool-looking option, though availability is a factor.
