Embark on a journey through aviation history with Breitling's Classic AVI collection, a tribute to the pioneering spirit of early aircraft. Rooted in the legacy of Breitling's Huit Aviation department, renowned for precision cockpit clocks in the 1930s, the Classic AVI draws inspiration from the iconic Ref. 765 AVI pilot's watch introduced two decades later. Honoring the legendary Vought F4U Corsair, a WWII naval aircraft celebrated for its exceptional speed and climb rate, this timepiece encapsulates the aircraft's "bent-wing" design and signature blue livery.

Crafted as a true pilot's watch, the Classic AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair features large, legible Arabic numerals on the dial and knurled bezel for optimal grip, even in gloved hands. The 42mm case exudes durability, complemented by top-stitched calfskin straps reminiscent of classic flight gear. For an elegant alternative, a stainless-steel bracelet is also available. Pilots and travelers alike will appreciate the watch's legibility, wearability, and understated style. Powering the Classic AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, ensuring precision with approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Immerse yourself in the rich history of aviation with the Classic AVI collection.


About Breitling

Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Breitling has dedicated over a century to the pursuit of high-performance timekeeping. The brand became a pioneer in the development of the modern chronograph, with Willy Breitling famously inventing the second independent pusher in 1934—a design that remains the industry standard today. Breitling is intrinsically linked to the golden age of flight, serving as the official supplier to the Royal Air Force and global airlines throughout the 20th century. This aviation heritage is headlined by the legendary Navitimer, which features a circular slide-rule bezel designed to help pilots perform complex in-flight calculations. Beyond the skies, Breitling is celebrated for its robust divers' watches, like the Superocean, and its commitment to "all-purpose" luxury with the Chronomat. Every Breitling timepiece is a COSC-certified chronometer, ensuring extraordinary precision and reliability. At IJL, we are proud to offer this collection of "instruments for professionals" to those who seek a bold, technical aesthetic paired with impeccable Swiss engineering.
