The New AVI-8 CVRT 3775A

Ricardo Amaral AVI-8, NEW RELEASES 2025, Field Watch 0

AVI-8 expands its catalog with the new CVRT 3775A – Night Shadow, a collaborative release with Worn & Wound that embraces a pared-back, utilitarian design philosophy. The watch takes its name from “Covert,” a theme that suits its understated appearance and practical build. Instead of the brand’s usual aviation-heavy styling, the CVRT moves toward a modern, minimal tool-watch identity designed for everyday reliability.

A Slim and Wearable Case Profile

Despite its geometric lines and prominent bezel, the CVRT 3775A maintains a compact footprint. The case measures 37.75 mm in diameter and 11mm in thickness, giving it a balanced presence on the wrist. It looks visually robust while remaining extremely wearable. One of the key elements contributing to its comfort is the crown positioned at 4 o’clock, which avoids digging into the wrist and adds to the watch’s ergonomic appeal. Additionally, the lugs—although relatively long—are well angled, allowing the case to sit naturally and securely on the wrist rather than feeling oversized.

The fixed bezel incorporates a subtle knurled texture that improves grip and adds tactile functionality without detracting from the minimalist silhouette. With its thoughtful proportions and clean architecture, the CVRT 3775A embraces the role of a practical, modern tool watch.

A Dial Built for Clarity and Function

The dial continues the covert theme with deliberate simplicity. Its matte black surface reduces glare and enhances readability in bright conditions. High-contrast baton hour markers, paired with Arabic numerals treated with C3 Super-LumiNova, ensure visibility in both daylight and low-light environments. The handset follows the same functional philosophy, offering clean shapes designed for quick and distraction-free reading.

There is also a small round date window positioned at 4:30. While this placement may not appeal to all enthusiasts, its modest size and matching black background help it blend into the dial, minimising visual disruption. It remains functional without dominating the overall design.

Reliable Miyota 9015 Automatic Movement

Powering the CVRT 3775A is the Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic movement, chosen for its slim profile and consistent performance. It provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivering smooth seconds-hand motion and stable timekeeping. The movement includes hacking seconds for precise adjustment. It sits behind a solid caseback that enhances durability and supports the watch’s 100-metre water resistance, making it suitable for everyday water exposure such as swimming or showering.

Strap and Wearing Experience

AVI-8 equips the CVRT 3775A with a strap designed to match its utilitarian character. In our experience, the fabric strap is the option that best suits the watch. It reinforces its field-watch personality, offering comfort, durability, and the right visual balance for its minimalist tool-watch design. While other strap styles are available, the fabric strap aligns most naturally with the watch’s purpose-driven aesthetic and enhances its overall presence on the wrist.

Pricing and Availability

The AVI-8 CVRT 3775A is priced at € 397.95 and is available through AVI-8’s official online store as well as Worn & Wound’s Windup Watch Shop. Despite being developed alongside Worn & Wound, the model maintains clean, AVI-8-exclusive branding, including a caseback free of co-branding or collaborative logos.

Final Thoughts

The CVRT 3775A marks a refreshing direction for AVI-8. Its subdued design, compact dimensions, and emphasis on function over embellishment make it a compelling modern tool watch. Combined with the well-executed case ergonomics, a capable movement, and a strap that amplifies its field-watch identity, the model offers strong value at its competitive price point. For enthusiasts seeking a straightforward, reliable, and contemporary everyday watch, the CVRT 3775A stands out as an appealing proposition.

AVI-8 Presents The New Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper Limited Edition

MRSTATELESS AVI-8, NEW RELEASES 2024, Pilot Watch 0

AVI-8 has just presented the Hawker Hurricane Night Reaper capsule collection with three limited edition watches.

This exclusive collection pays tribute to the RAF (Royal Air Force) Squadron Leader Karel “Kut” Kuttelwascher, a Czech pilot who achieved unprecedented feats especially in night raids during the Second World War commanding a Hurricane JX-E BE581 fighter, which earned him the cog-name “Night Reaper” represented on the fuselage of his plane through a yellow scythe and a red banner.

The collection thus consists of a Classic Chronograph and a Carey Dual Time watches limited to 170 pieces each and a Clowes Automatic of 120 units. All watches are dressed in black in a stealthy style, sharing a stainless steel case that comes with black-coated PVD, a solid steel case back engraved with the ‘Night Reaper’ logo, 50m water resistance, a black dial and a black leather strap.

The dial features a tricompax layout with registers at 12-6-9 o’clock with the main highlight being the running seconds that comes with the RAF Roundel background, printed Arabic numerals and hands filled with luminescent material, red chronograph hands and even a date window next to the crown. Inside, the watch comes with a Japanese Quartz movement and can be purchased for €220.95.
