From brave first takeoffs to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling\u2019s history is inseparable from that of flight. In the 1930s, Breitling\u2019s Huit Aviation department made its name inventing precision cockpit clocks. Two decades later, it introduced yet another novel flight instrument, this time in wearable form: the Ref. 765 AVI. That pioneering pilot\u2019s watch provided the technical backdrop for today\u2019s Super AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft. The\u202fSuper AVI Mosquito\u202fhonors one of those legends. In an era when aluminum and steel shortages were common, the engineers behind the de Havilland Mosquito made use of a still plentiful material: wood. The \u201cWooden Wonder\u201d caused shockwaves when it outperformed its metal contemporaries to become one of the fastest planes built between 1940 and 1950. Its superior maneuverability allowed it to multitask in roles as far ranging as light bomber, night-fighter, transport and photographic reconnaissance aircraft. As a true pilot\u2019s watch designed to withstand the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Super AVI Mosquito features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. Its sturdy case measures 46mm and the oversized crown sits at 3 o\u2019clock. Knurled bezels provide optimal grip and top-stitched calfskin straps give a nod to the seams found on classic flight gear. 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 engine of the Super AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B04 movement, which provides approximately 70-hours of power reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50585,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"From brave first takeoffs to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling\u2019s history is inseparable from that of flight.
