Hello Dave, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am truly impressed by your deep understanding of my watches, their significance, and their functionality. The way you presented all three watches was spot-on; I couldn't have articulated it as well myself. I'm delighted that you kept the Black Avidiver, and I'm confident you'll love it. This is the watch that my customers often rave about in our Gavox Room group on Facebook. Whenever they go on holiday, they leave everything else in the safe and take only the Avidiver. It stands out as a true tool watch-durable, legible, and functional, yet still fun and stylish.
For a number of years now, every time I'm gonna buy a watch (although I haven't buy a watch in more than a year :( ), I come here first. Kudos Dave, you are a solid reference in this respect 🙂
You have the BEST, most HELPFUL screenshots of ANY watch channel!! You show the watch, and almost all relevant info in one screen! One suggestion: maybe add the model number? Otherwise, awesome job!!
That dark GMT version looks fantastic 😍 In addition, that date adjustment just gives you the opportunity to interact with it even longer! I don’t even use Watch Winders any more b/c I love the interaction with my watches. Gavox is new to me and seem to have great designs and a solide build. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Dave, and thank you for this video. I don't own a Gavox, nor plan to purchase one. But since I'm into microbrands, I always kept an eye on this one. Thus it has been a pleasure to look at this 3 watches revue. The gmt - nicely called "longitude" as says on the back of the case - is surrely the one I prefer. And, about how difficult it could be to set the date, I have a gmt watch from Yema, and it's the same problem, but I love my Yema. So it won't be a huge problem for the ones who are going to buy this watch I think ...😊
Nice to see some more attention for Gavox. For me the daring and striking Longitude is the one that stands out and works well in this black out (choppy sea at night) version, yet I'd more likely to go with a stainless steel version. The Avidivers are very large and very loud, but especially the British Racing Green and green rubber strap lend the model a touch of class. I think it's a brand to watch, but I'm not sure if they'd ever cater to my taste exactly. The Roads I don't find particularly interesting, and not just because it is quartz. Just as a design concept it seems far less distinctive. (By the way, the strap adapters make the Longitude go from daring to just a bit naff. I doubt many would make use of this.)
good point , the avidiver has a great twist for smaller wrist, the lus as going down fast and the Molded Silicone strap is nicely pre-curved for fantastic comfort on all whist size
I don't understand why Omega took advantage/credit for the moon landing and made it their own, did it even make it to the moon before the crystal popped if anything Bulova should own that right, Omega knows what happened and yet they still profit of that error, awesome reviews keep up the good work. 👍🏽
Nice looking watches, especially the one reviewed. It's slightly too large for my comfort. Bremont has done similar things with Air Forces - but they are not so "affordable" as are these. Good vid. Keep at it!
Its funny to me when 43 mm is considered to be a big watch i guess i am use to 48 to 54 mm to be best for my wrist but i think how the watch is designed has a lot to do with how comfortable a large watch will fit and feel on a persons wrist
Never seen a picture of the Speedmaster actuallly being worn on the moon. I don't believe it or any watch would function at those extreme temperatures.
Wow! I like that chronograph. Im kind of in love with the subdials. And the Avidiver is nice and unique. Im not sure my budget is ready for those two! Thanks Dace!
Very intriguing watch family! On my list to buy one of these days. Hey, what part of Japan do you live in? I live in Kyoto half of each year and Ohio, US the other half. Love Japan totally.
Japan and its people are fantastic; I was lucky to visit the Grand Seiko case factory near Fukushima. But they ased me to produce a minimum of 3000 watches if i wanted to work with them , Oops
No they need to use 8R 48 or or “original el primero” as Seiko fans like to call it beacuse variation of this same movement was the first ever auto chrono not Zenith “el segundo”. In true Seiko innovation spirit that was the first ever vertical clutch chrono with column wheel.If Swiss made this movement they would charge it 15k easily, just look at price of Speedmaster and Zenith El segundo but Seiko rarely uses this truly iconic movement!
The Belgian airforce is one of the oldest in the world. At present it has about 40 F16s and is moving to F 35s - so although not large it's worthy of a bit of respect.
@@timoteiafanasie4894 I was in discussion with Ukrainian pilots before the war hit, now i make watches for the US airforce, Hawkeye and Growler squadron
Very cool watch,very nice and look eficient,my question is why minibrand who use miyota movment or seiki nh35 are so expenssive?because 750$ or 500 for this kind of watchs seem to be overvalued, try to sell it 2 month after and nobody will buy it too you at this price,so cool watch but will be better at 250$ max...it's my opinion about all this microbrand like serica,yema,san martin also who is more and more expenssive,i think they don't deserve it..
If you want the truth, Create your own watch and check how being small makes it hard to be your price of 250. I am Belgian, and we have a 21% tax on what we sell; everything is designed just for my needs; nothing comes off the shelf. as a matter of parts. thinks are not as simple . and i want to live out making what i like
@@GavoxWatches bonne chance...la concurence est grande,mais avec un design different on peu trouver une bonne niche pour apeler l attention,ou alors taper dans le mega luxe...mais en montres a prix raisonables le mieux serait d en donner plus pour moins...plus pour moins cher,c est ce qu a fait san martin et il semble que ca marche pluttot bien..
my 15+year old beater Citizen EcoDrive 100m GMT/Flieger/Field combo has "real GMT" independent GMT hand movement. It cost about $150 and has been resurrected from EcoComa once after many months "lost" in a dark drawer. The lume is rubbish and the mineral glass got its only damage, an edge chip where its is proud of the bezel, in its first 6 months. Citizen think the powercell is good for 18-20years and I'm not far off finding out.
Gavox is not a militar dotation watch, it's just a commercial partenership or "civil" military commémoratives watches. Carefull with the marketing of the brands pretending making watches for militaries or for special forces. Apart of that, it's a good brand and they design are pretty nice.
Thanks for your comment , dotation , not yet indeed . Gavox Watches has a long-standing tradition ( 13 years) of creating personalized timepieces, especially renowned among pilots across various squadrons. These pilots, who proudly wear our watches while navigating the skies, have helped spread the word about Gavox's craftsmanship and reliability through their recommendations. Our reputation for excellence reached new heights when the Belgian government commissioned me to craft unique watches intended as prestigious diplomatic gifts. These exclusive timepieces, emblematic of Belgian craftsmanship, were presented by the state to distinguished global figures, including presidents, kings, queens, ministers, and other influential personalities, such as Barack Obama, Mike Pence, and former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
@@GavoxWatches Merci d'avoir "remis l'église au centre du village". I like the Gavox brand, for its identity and designs. I like deceptive marketing less as does Akrone, Yema, bell&ross, tudor and many others. A watch in endowment that aims to serve soldiers during real maneuvers in hostile territory is not the same as a watch offered or sold at a low price to celebrate an event or membership in a squad. Personally, I regret that the armies have ceased to provide watches in endowments. I hope that one day that will change and that we will be able to buy Gavox watches served in combat. I think that everyone who loves watches has in mind the "Dirty Dozens" that revive the spirit of field watches in this modern era.
NH34, pressed clasp, 600-650€ … Design is nice. But i don‘t know man. At least it could have the newer 4R34 and a miled clasp!? SSKs go for around 400€. And Sapphire isn‘t as expensive as some think.
Nh34 and 4r34 are the same movement, one is just the Seiko in house model number and the other is sold to third party's. Still the price is higher than a lot of other watches featuring this movement. It's going to come down to how much you like the design to determine whether or not you want to pay a little more for it.
thanks for your comment, (double domed sapphire is 5 times more expensive as flat sapphire) innovation in the rotative triangle is mine and needed 5 prototype before it was perfect
@@GavoxWatches More expensive, yes sure. 5x is a bit exaggerated! 😉 But hey yeah. I give you that, you at least try new and/or innovative stuff. Not like some well known manufacturers that carry models that had some impact 50 years ago but milk them till today. 🙄😅
So it's a marketing campaign built on aviation so they found some people (eastern europe, lol) to wear their product to show they endorse it... like influencers and instgram 'models'... this story is kinda meh on this one to be honest

Very cool. Always enjoys learning about watches I’m not very familiar with. Thanks for sharing!
If the black Avidiver II was 39 or 40mm I would impulse buy it right now! Too big for my taste, but a fascinating design.

Nice!! I really like the Avidiver! Thanks for your take on Gavox
happy yoiu like looking at the watches and Dave is really good at explaining it @infinitekronos
Longitude might be the best application of the Miyota 9075 I've seen in the microbrand space yet. Just wish it wasn't integrated bracelet.
Thanks Jason, your comments means a lot to me
Respect for transparency on the commercial relationship between you and Gavox.

@@GavoxWatches oh wow, Fukushima isn't too far from where I live (maybe a 4 hour drive)!
Reminds me an awful lot of Torgoen
I want more companies to use the Seiko VK67 12 hour mecaquartz chrono movment.
No they need to use 8R 48 or
or “original el primero” as Seiko fans like to call it beacuse variation of this same movement was the first ever auto chrono not Zenith “el segundo”.

Totally! & 💯. The VK 63 is with the ridiculous 24 hour dial……..the Movado/Invicta of quartz chronograph movements. SMH……….
Sometimes I feel like a field of snow on a Japanese mountain or a bunch of cherry blossoms in the springtime.
still the best review i ever seen
As a Belgian and a watch enthusiast, I can confidently say that this brand is ... Something I had never heard of before today.
Same for me 😂 discover the brand like 1 week ago
Me too...
I just discovered Rolex yesterday....
Black one is cool
Ah yes. The Belgian Airforce. Along with the Lesotho Navy they are much feared and respected. Looks really cool.
The Belgian airforce is one of the oldest in the world. At present it has about 40 F16s and is moving to F 35s - so although not large it's worthy of a bit of respect.

this watch looks like my vostok panerai
a good mix ;-)
Do you dye your hair ?
Highest cool/$ ratio I've ever seen.
This is a very interesting watch. Great review.
Cool watch, terrible web site. I went to look at buying one but you can't even figure out what they sell on their site.
I like the stealth Longitude but would probably buy it in plain steel if I was getting one.
It's a Belgian micro brand . The country is called Belgium and things and people from Belgium are called Belgian
As a belgian from belgium i can give this comment my belgian approval
Lol, "the watch that Neil Armstrong wore on the moon."
So it's a marketing campaign built on aviation so they found some people (eastern europe, lol) to wear their product to show they endorse it... like influencers and instgram 'models'...
this story is kinda meh on this one to be honest
GMT hand is way too short.
Belgium makes great beers... all rest is so and so.
$600 for an nh34. You're kidding me
Not at All , come here and i will explain how i make my watches and you'll understand better all microbrands
By what measure are Belgian Air Force pilots the best in the world?
They've also made watches fora US Naval Air Squadron.
You read that wrong
The Brand is Belgian, but the pilots aren't necessarily Belgian.
Four Belgian jets buzzed my home at high noon today. Awesome!
