Breitling has a deep heritage in the field of aviation watchmaking and has launched many popular models over the decades. The newly launched Breitling Super AVI series replica watches pay tribute to the brand’s nearly century of aviation watchmaking history. (Watch model: AB04453A1B1X1)
This new replica Super AVI series watch has five styles. What we see is the replica Super AVI P-51 Mustang fighter watch (stainless steel model). Its design is inspired by the “Co-Pilot” Ref. 765 AVI pilot watch launched by the brand in 1953 and the North American P-51 Mustang fighter jet, giving the watch a unique retro aesthetic. Continuing Breitling’s consistent tough guy style, the stainless steel case of this watch has a diameter of 46 mm and is relatively large. However, due to its clever design, it does not feel particularly awkward when worn.
The two-way rotating bezel of this replica watch is engraved with black Arabic numerals, and the knurled pattern on the outer edge of the bezel has an anti-slip function, making it easier for the wearer to grip. The black dial is matched with a stainless steel case, with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter and date display window at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds dial at 9 o’clock. In addition, the watch is also equipped with 1/4 second timing and GMT second time zone display functions. Through the 24-hour mark and the red-tipped GMT hand on the inner bezel, pilots or other wearers in need can easily check the second time zone time.
The Super AVI P-51 Mustang Fighter Replica Watch, like most flight watches on the market, is equipped with large Arabic numerals to ensure clear visibility of the time. The hour markers and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® green luminous material, making it easy to read the time even in low-light environments. In addition, this watch is also designed with an oversized crown, so that even if the pilot is wearing thick gloves, he can easily adjust the time, improving the convenience of operation.
Flip to the back and through the sapphire crystal bottom cover, we can clearly observe the Breitling self-made B04 movement equipped on this replica watch. This movement is certified by the Swiss Observatory and has excellent accuracy and reliability. It can provide about 70 hours of power storage when fully wound, and has a waterproof depth of 100 meters, ensuring safe use in daily life. It is worth mentioning that the B04 movement not only has the common chronograph functions on flight watches, but is also one of the very few self-winding mechanical chronograph movements that can provide convenient dual time zone display, which demonstrates Breitling’s outstanding technical strength in the field of watchmaking. .
Like Breitling, we also equipped this watch with a golden brown calfskin strap with a folding clasp. The strap uses a pressure stitching process to pay tribute to the stitching design on leather flight suits in the early aviation era. The Super AVI P-51 Mustang fighter replica watch also provides an 18K red gold case with an anthracite dial and a black leather strap. Compared with the stainless steel model, the red gold model is more luxurious in design and more expensive, providing more choices for consumers who pursue noble taste.
