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 Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the adventurous spirit of the first famous aircraft. \u003cbr\u003eThe Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair pays tribute to one such legend. As one of the military aircraft used during World War II, the Corsair was required to be capable of performing daring takeoffs and landings on aircraft carriers and isolated runways. Speed ​​and maneuverability were essential for these operations, and the aircraft proved its exceptional capabilities. It became the first single-engine fighter aircraft to exceed 400 mph (640 km\/h), while also achieving a prodigious rate of climb. With its “gull wings,” oversized propeller, and distinctive blue livery, the aircraft is a true icon of aviation history.\u003cbr\u003e This Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair 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. \u003cbr\u003eThe knurled bezel on its 42 mm case ensures optimum grip, even with a pilot’s gloved hands. The topstitched calfskin straps recall the stitching found on classic flight gear, while the stainless steel bracelet offers a stylish alternative. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate its readability, ease of wear, and understated style. The Classic AVI is powered by a COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which guarantees a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46262983753978,"sku":"A233801A1C1A1","price":7650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/4909\/7210\/files\/BlueChrino.png?v=1747344506","url":"https:\/\/checkout.chateaudivoire.com\/en\/products\/classic-avi-chronograph-42-tribute-to-vought-f4u-corsair-4786","provider":"Château D'Ivoire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
