Breitling’s rich history is intertwined with aviation, beginning in the 1930s with the invention of precision cockpit clocks. This legacy continues with the Classic AVI collection, inspired by iconic early aircraft. The Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair honors a WWII naval legend known for its speed and remarkable climb rate, becoming the first single-engine fighter to exceed 400 mph. This robust pilot’s watch features large, legible Arabic numerals and a knurled bezel for easy grip, even while wearing gloves. With options like top-stitched calfskin straps and a stainless-steel bracelet, it combines practicality with elegance. Powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, it offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve, making it a reliable companion for any aviator.
