Breitling Aviator

Breitling Classic AVI Vought F4U Corsair Chronograph 42mm stainless steel automatic watch featuring a blue dial with tone-on-tone subdials and presented on a metal bracelet. Water resistant to 10 bars. Sapphire crystal. Non screw-locked crown. Bidirectional ratcheted bezel. From brave first takeoffs to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling’s history is inseparable from that of flight. In the 1930s, Breitling’s Huit Aviation department made its name inventing precision cockpit clocks. Two decades later, it introduced yet another novel flight instrument, this time in wearable form: the Ref. 765 AVI. That pioneering pilot’s watch provided the technical backdrop for today’s Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft. The Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair honors one of those legends.
