The limited edition timepiece releases from AVI-8 always turn our heads here at Coolector HQ and so it has proven once again with their latest release – the impactful, and important, Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz Watch. AVI-8 is excited to unveil the Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz, a watch that honours Roy Chadwick, the legendary aircraft designer at Avro, whose critical designs were key to the success of the Dambusters Raid in World War II.

Priced at a mighty reasonable £191, the AVI-8 Dambuster Chadwich Meca-Quartz Watch comes in three awesome colour options – namely, Coal Black, Cobalt Blue and Forest Green – so you’ll be able to find one that slots in effortlessly with your current timepiece collection.

This top-class timepiece pays homage to Roy Chadwick, celebrating his crucial contributions to the Dambusters Raid through his innovative modifications of the Avro Lancaster for Operation Chastise. Chadwick’s groundbreaking ideas, such as removing the mid-upper gun turret to reduce drag, were instrumental in the operation’s success. We love the backstory to AVI-8’s watches and this one is one of the best of the bunch to date.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Avro Lancaster, the Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz showcases meticulous craftsmanship and precision. Featuring a Japanese Meca-Quartz movement with a 24-hour function, a hardened mineral lens with an anti-reflective coating, and a genuine leather strap, this watch serves as a timeless tribute to the ingenuity of Roy Chadwick.

The partnership between Chadwick and Wallis extended beyond the Dambusters Raid, leading to the creation of innovative weaponry such as the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs, which played a significant role in the Allied victory in World War II. The Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz is a tribute to the creative spirit and ingenuity that characterized their collaboration during the war. After an aviation-inspired timepiece that doesn’t break the bank (but maybe the Dam), this is the one for you.
