BREITLING Super Avi Chronograph 42mm A233803A1B1X1

The Breitling Super Avi A233803A1B1X1, 'a pilot's watch inspired by the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft. This is the smaller 42mm version.

The Classic AVIP-51 Mustang honors one of those legends. When the plane was built in just 120 days, not even developer North American Aviation could have foreseen what a powerhouse it had on its hands. The P-51's low-drag wings and engine cooling system, considered experimental when the single-seat fighter first took off in 1940, gave it unprecedented speed and range. The addition of a Merlin engine extended the aircraft's performance to high altitudes, making it the best all-purpose fighter of its time. Like a true pilot's watch designed to withstand the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Classic AVIP-51 Mustang features large, easy-to-read Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. The knurled bezel on the 42mm case provides optimal grip, even in pilot's gloves. Quilted calfskin straps reference the seams of classic flight gear, while the stainless steel bracelet offers an elegant alternative. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate its readability, portability and understated style. The engine of the Classic AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve.
