The AVI-8 brand of timepieces and accessories was developed in the UK in the mid 2000s, by Dartmouth Brands. It was initially briefed to capture the spirit of aviation and after initial success, the brand reviewed its collection and line up and went to work researching military aircraft synonymous with the development of the Royal Air Force from World War II onwards. Each collection in the Avi-8 range pays tribute to each aircraft that it is named after.
