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 is the design reference for today’s Breitling Super AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of four legendary vintage aircraft: the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang, Vought F4U Corsair, de Havilland Mosquito and Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.

As a true pilot’s watch designed to stand up to the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Breitling Super AVI P-51 Mustang features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. Its sturdy case measures 46mm and the oversized crown sits at 3 o’clock. Knurled bezels provide optimal grip and top-stitched calfskin straps give a nod to the seams found on classic flight gear. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate the ability to track a second time zone using the 24-hour marking on the inner bezel and the red-tipped GMT hand. The engine of the Breitling Super AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B04 movement, which provides approximately 70-hours of power reserve.
