Striking details. Seconds hand lines up nicely with the minute markers around the dial, which is rare these days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but almost great. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 30, 2024* I’ve been watching this timepiece for quite awhile. I found the brand while looking for a British made watch. I realize that these are not made in Britain. They remind me of a Bell & Howell style watch (another relatively new watch brand). While maintaining their own identity and style. I’m not making a direct comparison as they are in wildly different price points.The look of the watch borders on gimmicky but pulls it off. The details are nice even to the tiny “screws” on the retrograde minutes and 24hr dials. The crystal is glass, is appears to be coated. The unique hands, numerals, and indices are luminous. The numerals and indices are “proud” (not flat), although I can’t discern it they are applied or stamped/molded as a part of the dial. The date window is framed. The case appears to be pad coated steel. It has a laser etched screw down back. The push/pull crown is signed. The buttons are very “proud”, made of metal and look great on this watch. The button are “soft” and have no tactile click, but that are not mushy. An oversight at this price point. If I could drop 1/2 a star I would.The chronograph movement is a disappointment. Relegating the chronograph’s second hand to the small seconds dial is inexcusable. The chronograph should ALWAYS be on the big seconds. I use the function multiple times daily at work and having to use the small seconds often make it unreadable when hands are in the way. This is an Invicta move and why I will not buy a chronograph watch from them. Seriously, at this price point it should be on the big seconds and a sweep movement. Don’t tell me it would cost too much. Chinese brands at a slightly cheaper price point than this do it. I almost want to return it for this reason alone. You lost a star…almost 2. Seriously this flat out pisses me off!!Still like the watch, but GRRRRR!!!!The watch feels solid and not cheap at all (except maybe the buttons a bit). It has a good heft to it and the styling it great if your looking for a cockpit instrument style. The dial appears to be well assembled and everything appears to be attached well as opposed it reviews from a few years back.Overall if you can live with the chronograph functions as is I have no problem recommending this watch. ## Frequently Bought Together - AVI-8 for Men 45 mm Hawker Hunter Chronograph Retrograde Japanese Quartz Pilot Watch with Leather, Rubber or Stainless Steel Strap AV-4052 - JOREST Watch Link Removal Kit, Resizing Tool for Bracelet Adjustment & Replacement, Pin Remover for Sizing Strap, Watch Adjuster, Hammer for Watch Repair, Adjust Band, with User Manual, Punches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/184313081-hawker-hunter-mens-pilot-watch-retrograde-chronograph-japanese-quartz-movement](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/184313081-hawker-hunter-mens-pilot-watch-retrograde-chronograph-japanese-quartz-movement) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
