AvGeek® Green by Flyer Watches

Aviation-inspired watches aren’t exactly hard to find — but finding one that’s both functional in the cockpit and supports the next generation of pilots? That’s a bit rarer.

I recently got my hands on the AvGeek Green from The Flyer Watch Company. It’s a UK-based brand, run by a small team of aviators, with a clear focus on aviation styling and practical wearability. Right out of the box, the watch felt solid — not heavy, just well-built. The high-contrast dial is exactly what you want when flying in changing light conditions, and the luminous markers hold up well to my testing. If, like me, you like to appreciate the little details, you too will get a kick out of the aviation-inspired chronograph and the ‘Life is looking UP’ slogan on the underside of the watch.

What stood out most, though, wasn’t just the look or feel — it was the mission behind the brand. A portion of every watch sold goes toward flying scholarships – opening the skies to aspiring aviators of all ages and abilities. Thanks to a recent partnership with RAAus, this means that 20% of profits from watches purchased in Australia directly support the RAAus Scholarship Programme, gifting the opportunity of flight training to aspiring pilots.

As for the rest — Flyer Watches offer free worldwide shipping, and mine arrived without issue, tracked and well-packed. There’s a two-year warranty and 14-day return window, but to be honest, I haven’t had a reason to consider either. If you’re after a dependable, aviation-style watch that actually gives back to the flying community — rather than just looking the part — the AvGeek range is well worth a look. For RAAus members, there’s 20% off with the code RAAUS at checkout, which makes the decision even easier.
