The Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk salute a partnership between two true aviation pioneers. Fittingly, they do it with features
that recall one of Breitling’s early pilot’s watches, the
iconic Reference 768, which featured a rotating bezel
and distinctive triangular pointer that made it an instant
hit with aviators. 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.
