AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper Limited Edition Collection

AVI-8 proudly unveils its latest Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper Limited Editions capsule. This collection pays homage to the legendary Squadron Leader Karel “Kut" Kuttelwascher and the remarkable history of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) famed No. 1 Squadron. Known as "The Czech night hawk" during World War II, Kuttelwascher was declared one of the RAF's most successful Czechoslovak pilots and a top ace.



Kuttelwascher's Hurricane, distinguished by its black paint and adorned with a yellow scythe and a red "Night Reaper" banner, quickly justified its name through his remarkable feats. The black camouflage was carefully chosen to enhance the aircraft's elusiveness during missions where short burst firing was the only option. His unrivalled success in night intruder missions led to the well-deserved nickname "Night Reaper." 


The Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper Limited Edition is a remarkable capsule collection featuring three new models within the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane family of timepieces. Each watch is coloured and camouflaged in a palette of deep black, reflecting the legendary Hurricane JX-E (serial BE581) flown by Kuttelwascher, with all models featuring a muti-layered dial and leather strap. The Classic Chronograph edition and the Carey Dual Time edition are a limited edition of 170 pieces each, whereas the Clowes edition is a limited edition of 120 pieces.


The Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper Limited Editions will be available now at Avi-8.co.uk, £200 - £390.
