Breitling's journey is forever linked with aviation, being the originator of cockpit clocks in the 1930s and creator of the Ref. 765 AVI pilot's watch two decades later. The Classic AVI series pays homage to this history, with the Mosquito edition paying tribute to the de Havilland aircraft. Its unique wooden frame enabled the 'Wooden Wonder' to excel at light bombing, night-fighting, transport and reconnaissance during 1940-50, outperforming its metal peers.
Designed with the rigors of a vintage cockpit in mind, the 42mm Classic AVI Mosquito boasts large and easy-to-read Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. An ergonomic knurled bezel ensures maximum grip, even when wearing gloves. Timeless details like its top-stitched calfskin straps and stylish stainless-steel bracelet pay homage to aviation history. Accurate Breitling Calibre 23 movement provides a 48-hour power reserve, making it an ideal choice for pilots and other travellers.
