Drawing direct inspiration from one of World War II's most celebrated carrier-based fighter aircraft, the Classic AVI collection occupies a proud place in Breitling's lineup. This 2025 reference presents a blue dial fitted with Arabic numerals and luminescent hands for clear readability, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal guards the display. The round 42mm stainless steel case is paired with a bi-directional rotating bezel designed for flight calculations, and water resistance is rated to 100 meters / 330 feet.
Inside, a self-winding mechanical movement powers the watch, delivering the reliable timekeeping performance Breitling is known for. The analog dial layout keeps the instrument-oriented aesthetic front and center, consistent with the collection's aviation roots. Completing the ensemble is a black calfskin leather strap secured by a fold clasp, offering a versatile and comfortable fit.
This example is unworn and presented complete with its original box and original papers, making it an appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Reference A233801A1C1X1 represents a thoughtful union of historical significance and contemporary Swiss craft.
