AVI-8 is an aviation-themed watch brand that makes affordable pilot-style watches inspired by military aircraft and aviation history.

AVI-8 states that it was founded in 2012 and that its designs come from collaboration with pilots and engineers connected to air forces. Its collections are built around aircraft, pilots, and military aviation stories rather than generic pilot-watch styling. Dartmouth Brands lists AVI-8 among its watch brands, and a Mainspring review describes AVI-8 as part of the UK-based Dartmouth Brands group. Current coverage of the Flyboy Airmaster GMT shows the brand using accessible automatic movements such as the Seiko NH34, while AVI-8's own collection pages also reference meca-quartz models.
