Super Avi - Breitling's tribute to legendary aircraft Design inspired by the P51 Mustang Breitling heritage with nods to the classic 1953 "Co-Pilot" 46mm case with large Arabic numerals for legibility B04 calibre GMT Chronograph movement with 70hrs power reserve and 100m water resistance AVIATION HERITAGESuper Avi, the newest watch series from Breitling, is a celebration of aviation history with designs inspired by four legendary aircraft. In this instance, the North American Aviation P51 Mustang serves as the design touchpoint, perhaps the best all-purpose fighter of its time. Built in a mere 120 days, the manufacturer introduced several innovative features, including low-drag wings and a unique engine cooling system, with a Merlin engine soon allowing the P51 to expand performance into high altitudes. The single-seater, long-range fighter first flew in 1940 and was in service for over four decades. The P-51 Mustang timepiece includes the distinctive Super AVI design with large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. Its sturdy case measures 46mm and the oversized crown sits at 3 o’clock. FOR PILOTSKnurled bezels provide optimal grip and a nod to the original design of the 1953 “Co-Pilot”, while the top stitched calfskin straps reference the seams found on leather flight gear of the era. The sapphire case back is adorned with a filigree silhouette of the iconic aircraft. 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 P-51 design comes in two versions – a stainless steel case with black dial and gold-brown leather strap or an 18k red gold case with an anthracite dial and black leather strap.
