Breitling Calls on Classic American Fighters to Create a New Super AVI Series
Breitling held its Fall Summit in Dallas this week, unveiling the new Super AVI collection alongside a collection of classic American warplanes at the National Aviation Education Center. AVI is not a new name for Breitling, the latest collection originates from the original 1953 “Co-Pilot” Ref. 765 AVI pilot's watch, as well as 4 very unique aircraft with unique colorways. These 4 aircraft spawned 4 models in stainless steel, and a 5th model in red gold. All watches are powered by the brand's B04 automatic chronograph movement with GMT hand. We were on hand in Dallas to see the watches, as well as the aircraft that inspired them.
These watches are unmistakably Breitling, with their bold graphic dials and massive 46mm cases. While they may not be very practical ergonomically (at least on my wrist), there's no doubt they're a lot of fun in creating a stylish, functional pilot's watch. As a non-pilot I can't comment on their practicality while flying, but in speaking with actual pilots who fly P-51 Mustangs, Vought F4U Corsairs, Curtiss P-40 Warhawks and Mosquitoes to Dallas event, I'm convinced they are well-suited for their mission and unique needs (yoke?). replica watches for sale
One of them said the watch was easier to read than other chronographs he'd worn while flying and, worn low on the wrist, allowed him to quickly calculate fuel and time. Now, flying World War II-era warplanes is a fairly specific use case for these aircraft, but they are unique and appropriately suited use cases. Think of them as sea-dwellers of the deep, serving the sky. Well... although their proportions may be beefy (46 x 15.9mm), they are very handsome (in my opinion) and certainly not unwearable.
The first is the Super AVI P-51 Mustang, which is the most old-school looking of the bunch, although none are directly inspired by vintage – these are modern watches through and through. The color scheme is black with white markers filled with brown luminous for a green glow. One of the best all-around fighter jets, the P-51 Mustang was built by North American Aviation in just 120 days and first flew in 1940. The high quality watches replica is also available in red gold with an anthracite dial and black sub-dials.
Next up, the Super AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair dial comes in a rich blue hue with solid white markers and lume. This is the simplest looking aircraft of the bunch and is inspired by the Vought F4U Corsair, an aircraft with a curved wing design that was prominent on aircraft carriers and on remote takeoff and landing strips. It was also the first single-engine fighter to break 400 mph.
You know you're probably going to get a green dial here, and that honor goes to the Super AVI Curtiss Warhawk, which pairs military green with white subdials and white lume. Red accents appear on the minute register, highlighting the red-tipped GMT hand seen on every watch. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk features shark mouth nose art that helps cool the liquid radiator of the powerful engine.
Finally, the Super AVI Mosquito has the sportiest colorway, with a black and white dial with red hands and a black bi-directional bezel with red triangles at 12 places. Named after the "wooden wonder" de Havilland Mosquito, this model had a variety of functions from light bomber to photo reconnaissance. high quality copy watches
Each watch has a date window at 6 o'clock that matches the dial and almost disappears in the hour totalizer. Each also received an exhibition caseback engraved with the aircraft that inspired them. A stitched leather strap holds the whole thing together and sits very comfortably on the wrist. Well, at least as comfortable as a 46×15.9mm watch.
When creating these watches, Breitling gathered these four aircraft in the sky and flew them in formation for the first time. Each aircraft represents one of an extremely limited number of aircraft in flight-ready condition that appear annually at shows and organizations like NAEC. They are stunning to see on the ground and incredible to see side by side in the sky. Thanks to Breitling and Georges Kerns, as well as the 4 pilots and administrators for making this possible.
