46 mm steel case with transparent sapphire crystal caseback\u003cbr\u003e From the courageous takeoffs, the first in history, to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling's history is inseparable from that of flight. In the 1930s, Breitling's Huit Aviation Department became famous thanks to the invention of precision cockpit watches dedicated to aeronautics, a booming sector. Twenty years later, Breitling presents another flight tool, this time wearable: the Ref. 765 AVI. This pioneering pilot's watch provided the technical basis for the current Super AVI, a collection inspired by the vigorous spirit of the first famous airplanes. The Super AVI Mosquito pays homage to one of these legends. At a time when a shortage of aluminum and steel was common, the engineers who designed the de Havilland Mosquito decided to use a still abundant material: wood. The Wooden Wonder leaves everyone speechless when it surpasses its metal counterparts, becoming one of the fastest aircraft to be built between 1940 and 1950. Its very high maneuverability makes it extremely versatile: from light bomber to night fighter, used for transport or war aerial photos. As a true pilot's watch designed to withstand the rigors of the cockpit of the time, the Super AVI Mosquito features large, easily readable Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. The robust case measures 46 mm, while the oversized crown is housed at 3 o'clock. The knurled bezel offers optimal grip while the stitched calfskin straps are a reference to the stitching on the leather of classic cockpits. Pilots and travelers will appreciate the ability to display a second time zone thanks to the 24-hour indicator on the inner bezel and the GMT hand with its red tip. The movement mechanism of the Super AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling B04 manufacture caliber, which offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve.
