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 Classic AVI, a collection inspired by the rugged spirit of famed early aircraft. The Classic AVI P-51 Mustang honors one of those legends. When the aircraft was built in a mere 120 days, even its developer North American Aviation, didn’t anticipate what a powerhouse it had on its hands.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-text\"\u003eThe P-51’s low-drag wings and engine-cooling system—considered experimental when the single-seat fighter first took off in 1940—gave it unprecedented speed and range. The addition of a Merlin engine, expanded the plane’s performance to high altitudes, making it the best all-purpose fighter of its time. As a true pilot’s watch designed to withstand the rigors of a vintage cockpit, the Classic AVI P-51 Mustang features large, highly legible Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-text\"\u003eThe knurled bezel on the 42mm case provides optimal grip, even in a pilot’s gloved hands. Top-stitched calfskin straps give a nod to the seams found on classic flight gear, while the stainless-steel bracelet provides an elegant alternative. Pilots and other travelers will appreciate its legibility, wearability, and understated style. The engine of the Classic AVI is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which provides approximately 48-hours of power reserve.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52002154873143,"sku":"R233801A1B1X1","price":21850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/4923\/7841\/files\/breitling_r233801a1b1x1_soldier.webp?v=1776546949","url":"https:\/\/skeies.com\/products\/breitling-classic-avi-chronograph-42mm-black-dial-p-51-mustang","provider":"Skeie's Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
