This pioneering pilot’s watch provided the technical backdrop for today’s Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the adventurous spirit of the first famous aircraft. The Classic AVI P-51 Mustang pays tribute to one such legend. When the aircraft was built in just 120 days, even its designer North American Aviation did not anticipate just how powerful it would be. The P-51’s low-drag wings and engine cooling system were still experimental when the single-seat fighter first took off in 1940. They allowed it to push the limits of speed and range. The addition of a Merlin engine improved the aircraft’s high-altitude performance, making it the best all-around fighter of its day.
