Breitling's history is deeply entwined in the history of aviation, from the first brave flights to the development of commercial air travel. The Huit Aviation department solidified Breitling's name in the 1930s with pioneering cockpit clocks, then introduced the Ref. 765 AVI pilot's watch in the 1950s. Drawing from that technical expertise, the Classic AVI P-51 Mustang pays homage to a renowned early aircraft. Developed by North American Aviation in just 120 days, the P-51's innovative low-drag wings and engine-cooling system provided superior speed and range. With the addition of a Merlin engine, it became the most versatile fighter of its era.
The 42mm Classic AVI P-51 Mustang is a professional pilot's watch with large, clear Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. The knurled bezel ensures a good grip even when wearing gloves. Top-stitched calfskin straps recall traditional flight gear, and the stainless-steel bracelet offers an elegant alternative. Its legibility, durability, and tasteful look will be appreciated by pilots as well as travellers. The reliable COSC-certified Breitling Calibre 23 movement provides an approximate 48-hour power reserve.
