From formative endeavours in aviation to the inception of air travel, Breitling has been an integral part of its history. In the 1930s, the brand's Huit Aviation division achieved fame for creating precise cockpit clocks. In the 1950s, it took flight once more by inventing the Ref. 765 AVI - a groundbreaking pilot's watch that is the foundation of the present-day Super AVI collection, which celebrates the robust nature of the early aircrafts.
The Super AVI Mosquito commemorates a renowned aircraft. In the 1940s & 1950s, the ingenious engineers behind the de Havilland Mosquito astounded their contemporaries by relying on a plentiful material - wood - to construct one of the quickest planes of the era. Its remarkable agility enabled it to carry out missions varying from light bombing and transport to photography.
This Super AVI Mosquito is inspired by the nocturnal prowess of the Night Fighter 2 aircraft. It is a true pilots watch, boasting high-visibility Arabic numerals on a black ceramic case, titanium pushers, crown, caseback, and buckle. For operational ease, the knurled bezel provides secure grip, even with gloves. The military-leather strap gives a vintage feel. Meanwhile, the 24-hour marking on the inner bezel and the white-tipped GMT hand provide the power of two-time zone tracking. The COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Calibre B04 movement drives the timepiece, offering a power reserve of up to 70-hours.
