A crown positioned 2 o’clock marker features a star insignia in a nod to the US Air Force insignia marking its namesake aircraft.The dial of the Ace of Spades is a representation of the best of the AVI-8 brand. Comprised of more than 30 unique pieces, each part of the dial has been carefully designed and laid out in keeping with inspiration provided by the Harrier.The passage of seconds is marked out by a custom modified disc just below the 3 o’clock position and the 24-hour subdial has been constructed with a series of layers and indexes which have been individually facetted applied with brush and polish finishes.This attention to detail and finishing can be found across the dial. The result is a dial that while offering a clear cut time display, presents a contemporary military industrialized look. Drawing from the incredible power and engineering ingenuity of the Rolls Royce Pegasus engine , a custom designed and modified turbine shaped rotor brings the wearer closer to the fit and feel of a truly aviation inspired design timepiece.
