Services and Benefits
From brave first takeoffs to the birth of commercial air travel, Breitling’s history is inseparable from that of flight. In the 1930s, Breitling’s Huit Aviation department made its name inventing precision cockpit clocks. Two decades later, it introduced yet another novel flight instrument, this time in wearable form: the Ref. 765 AVI. That pioneering pilot’s watch provided the technical backdrop for today’s Super AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft. The Super AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair honors one of those legends. As a WWII naval aircraft, the Corsair had to make tricky takeoffs and landings from carriers and remote landing strips. Speed and lift were of the essence, and the plane came through with flying colors, becoming the first single-engine fighter to crack the 400 mph (640 km/h) mark, while also providing an exceptional rate of climb. Its “bent-wing” design, oversized propeller and signature blue livery make it an emblem of aviation history. As a true pilot’s watch designed to withstand the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Super AVI Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel. Its sturdy case measures 46mm and the oversized crown sits at 3 o’clock. Knurled bezels provide optimal grip and top-stitched calfskin straps give a nod to the seams found on classic flight gear. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate the ability to track a second time zone using the 24-hour marking on the inner bezel and the red-tipped GMT hand. The engine of the Super AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B04 movement, which provides approximately 70-hours of power reserve.

The history of this brand dates back to the second half of the 19th century, when a young Leon Breitling opened a workshop for the production of watches in the Swiss town of St-Imier. Through his honest approach and persistent work, he defined the main principles of the company culture that continue to this day. The company's history has been and continues to be rich in firsts, patents, and inventions: the first wrist chronograph, official supplier to the British RAF, models such as the Chronomat and Navitimer with a slide rule. The Navitimer model in particular has won the hearts of watch enthusiasts with its legendary design and has been popular with pilots around the world.
Development and progress culminated in the creation of the first IN-HOUSE caliber, designated 01. It had a 3-day power reserve, a high-precision chronograph, and a 5-year warranty. Manufactured and assembled 100% IN-HOUSE at the newly built Breitling Chronometrie factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The new movement immediately attracted the attention of both experts and the general public, with experts ranking the Caliber 01 among the ten best chronographs in the world. The motto "Instruments for professionals" says it all.
Omega: sixty years on the silver screen
This year marks exactly 60 years since the Omega Seamaster first appeared on James Bond's wrist. And that's quite a piece of history. In nine Bond films, we saw a total of ten different Seamaster models, and only one of them is still available for purchase today. Fortunately, the Bond watch collection called "007 edition" has now grown by another piece.
