Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 Curtiss Warhawk

From the first daring takeoffs to the advent of commercial flights, Breitling’s history is closely linked to that of aviation. In the 1930s, Breitling’s Huit Aviation department made a name for itself by inventing precision clocks for use in cockpits. Two decades later, the brand introduced another flight instrument, this time a novelty to be worn on the wrist: the Ref. 765 AVI. This pioneering pilot’s watch provided the technical backdrop for today’s Super AVI, a collection inspired by the adventurous spirit of the first famous aircraft.
The Super AVI Curtiss P-40 Warhawk pays tribute to one such legend. Designed as a fighter, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk first flew in 1938 and quickly established itself as a master of agility. In addition to being able to perform breathtaking turns that gave it a significant advantage in flight, its rugged structure also allowed it to withstand harsh weather conditions, and even survive numerous mid-air collisions. The Warhawk’s shark-jaw nose gave it a reputation as a rebel of the skies.
This Super AVI Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is a true pilot's watch, designed to withstand the demands of a vintage cockpit. Its large Arabic numerals provide excellent readability on the dial and bezel.
The oversized crown and knurled bezel on its sturdy 46 mm case ensure optimum grip, even with a pilot’s gloved hands. The topstitched calfskin straps echo the stitching found on classic flight gear, while the optional stainless steel bracelet offers a stylish alternative. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate the ability to read a second time zone thanks to the red-tipped GMT hand, as well as the 24-hour graduation on the flange. The Super AVI is powered by a COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B04 movement, which guarantees a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
