Named after famed Hawker Harrier test pilot John Farley, this timepiece echoes the inner cockpit of the iconic “Jump Jet” aircraft with a dual time retrograde display, date and 24-hour read-out all cloaked within the sturdy, robust yet effortlessly wearable confines of the solid marine grade stainless steel case.
Renowned for his work in developing and testing the legendary Hawker Harrier “Jump Jet”, Farley also displayed his mastery of the aircraft when he captivated the world with the now famous “Farley Take Off”, a stunt he performed by hovering the Harrier then tilting the nose almost entirely vertically before applying full throttle to “rocket climb” away. Remarkably, during his aviation career, Farley flew over 80 different types of aircraft and was the first British pilot to fly the Mikoyan MiG –29. All these accomplishments helped inspire the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Farley Multifunction.
