In the 1930s, Breitlings 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 pilots watch provided the technical backdrop for todays Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft.
The Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair honours one of those legends.
As a true pilots watch designed to withstand the rigours of a vintage cockpit, the Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. The knurled bezel on the 42mm case provides optimal grip, even in a pilots gloved hands.
The engine of the Classic AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which provides approximately 48-hours of power reserve.
