Three new Breitling Aviator 8 watches honor Curtiss Wright, a renowned American aircraft manufacturer, and the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, its most famous plane. The P-40 Warhawks were manufactured between 1938 and 1944. With the release of two chronographs, one featuring a Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, and an understated three-hand watch, Breitling makes it clear that avia¬tion remains an essential part of its brand DNA. These three new watches - the Aviator 8 B01 Chrono¬graph 43 Curtiss Warhawk, the Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk, and the Aviator 8 Automatic 41 Curtiss Warhawk - salute a partnership between two true aviation pioneers. The Aviator 8 watches reflect the proud aviation heritage of two important brands but, with their modern retro flair, they are sure to appeal to a new generation of watch enthusiasts.
