Breitling Classic AVI 'Mosquito' Chronograph; Automatic Men's Watch

Description

The Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 ‘Mosquito’ is a tribute to one of the most legendary fighter aircraft in aviation history; The de Havilland Mosquito. This iconic aircraft was known during World War II for its exceptional speed, versatility, and innovative construction.

The Classic AVI collection harkens back to the famous Breitling AVI Ref. 765 from the 1950s, a watch that was specifically developed for pilots. This Mosquito version brings that heritage back to life with a contemporary look, high-quality materials, and exquisite finishing.

Breitling translates that rich history into a high-quality pilot chronograph where classic design and modern Swiss technology blend perfectly. The current retail price of this watch is no less than €6100!

This piece has a reference number Y233801A1B1X1 and features a 42mm case that beautifully combines sportiness and elegance. The black dial with lovely details, large Arabic numerals, and the exceptionally readable chronograph layout are inspired by the cockpit instruments of historical aircraft. This ensures that the watch remains highly legible under all circumstances, just like a true pilot's watch is intended to be.

Inside is the high-quality Breitling Caliber B23 automatic movement. This reliable caliber is COSC Chronometer certified, ensuring excellent precision and performance according to strict Swiss standards. The movement has been tested and runs excellently, in line with the stringent COSC criteria.

The watch is equipped with a stylish brown Breitling leather strap featuring a luxury folding clasp, providing high comfort and an elegant appearance. The strap is suitable for wrists up to approximately 20cm.

This piece from 07-2026 is completely new and unworn and comes with a lovely complete full set including; Breitling box, Breitling warranty card, manual, and (almost) 2 years of Breitling warranty.
