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 clocks. 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?P-51 Mustang pays homage to one of these legends. When it was built in just 120 days, even North American Aviation, which had designed it, did not expect to have such a powerful aircraft in its hands. The P-51's low-inertia wings and engine cooling system, experimental when the single-seat fighter first took to the skies in 1940, allow it to achieve unprecedented speed and versatility. The addition of a Merlin engine brings all the aircraft's performance to higher altitudes, making it the most versatile fighter of its era. As a true pilot's watch designed to withstand the rigors of the cockpit of the time, the Super AVI?P-51 Mustang 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.
