Avi-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic, £275-£290
It’s needless to say that the Spitfire is still an icon of the 20th century as a stylish and practical aircraft steeped in history. However, the Chief Designer of the plane gets altogether less recognition, something Avi-8 are planning to change with the Spitfire Smith Automatic, named after the man himself, Joseph Smith. It has a 42mm stainless steel case housing the NH35 automatic calibre and there are four colourways inspired by famous Spitfire factories to choose from.
Available at Avi-8.
Tidlös Marin Black Carbon, £1,090
The Marin from Tidlös captures the primary elements of Scandinavian design, while also maintaining superb ruggedness in-keeping with the dynamic landscape of Scandinavia. The 43.9mm diameter stainless steel case has a helium escape valve and comes with 500m water resistance, which is an impressive feat considering it has an exhibition caseback. There are a number of styles available but this black carbon fibre option really captures its sporty essence. It’s powered by the Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré movement.
Available at Tidlös Watches.
