A TRUE PILOT’S WATCH

Breitling’s history has long been intertwined with that of flight. In the 1950s, the brand introduced a novel flight instrument – the wearable Ref. 765 AVI. This pioneering pilot’s watch provided the foundations for today’s Classic AVI collection, inspired by the rugged spirit of early aircraft.

The Vought F4U Corsair was a WWII naval aircraft required to make tricky take-offs and landings from carriers and remote landing strips, meaning speed was of the essence. The plane was up to the challenge, becoming the first single-engine fighter to achieve the 400 mph mark, while also providing an exceptional rate of climb.

The Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair honours the legendary aircraft.

A TRIBUTE TO THE VOUGHT F4U CORSAIR

Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, the classic blue dial is enhanced by three chronograph sub-dials, large, highly legible Arabic numerals, and a red-tipped seconds hand.

The knurled bezel provides optimum grip, even in a pilot’s gloved hands, while the COSC-certified Breitling Calibre 23 movement delivers incredible precision and a power reserve of 48 hours.

A stainless steel bracelet completes the elegant aesthetic.
