Breitling Avi Chronograph 42 Curtiss Warhawk Brown Leather Strap Watch For Men

From brave first takeoffs to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling’s history is inseparable from that of flight. In the 1930s, Breitling’s 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’s watch provided the technical backdrop for today’s Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft. The Classic AVI Curtiss P-40 Warhawk honors one of those legends. Conceived as a pursuit aircraft, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk first flew in 1938 and quickly proved itself as a master of agility. It wasn’t just the plane’s capacity for pulling jaw-dropping turns that gave it an in-flight edge, its robust structure meant it could tolerate harsh weather conditions and even many mid-air collisions. The Warhawk’s defiant shark-mouth nose art sealed its reputation as the rebel of the skies. As a true pilot’s watch designed to withstand the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Classic AVI Curtiss P-40 Warhawk features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. The knurled bezel on the 42mm case provides optimal grip, even in a pilot’s gloved hands. Top-stitched calfskin straps give a nod to the seams found on classic flight gear, while the stainless-steel bracelet provides an elegant alternative. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate its legibility, wearability, and understated style. The engine of the Classic AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which provides approximately 48-hours of power reserve.

Celebrate a legend on your wrist with the Breitling Avi Chronograph 42 Curtiss Warhawk. A Special Edition that blends aviation heritage with modern chronograph accuracy, this model is built for real-world use as much as it is for display.

Why this watch stands out

Designed to endure the rigors of a vintage cockpit while delivering contemporary reliability, this Curtiss Warhawk edition centers on legibility, durability, and a distinctive military-inspired look.

To keep the green dial and polished bezel looking its best, wipe regularly with a soft microfiber cloth, avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, and have it serviced according to Breitling’s recommended intervals to preserve chronometer accuracy and water resistance.
