Not only was Tommy Hitchcock Jr. a National polo champion and member of the Lafayette Flying Corps, but he was also an integral part of the development of the P-51 Mustang. AVI-8 salutes the American hero with the Sands Point Watch. Inspired by his work on the iconic aircraft, the 43mm case sports a contoured shape with a crown guard that mimics the engine exhaust of the P-51 Mustang. The multi-layered dial takes cues from the cockpit with bold numerals similar to aviation instruments, while the padded leather band references the seats. To honor Hitchcock’s time of the ground, the case back features a “Ten Goal Tommy” graphic, and the colors are a call-out to the clubs he played for.
