Breitling Classic AVI REF. 765 1964 RE-EDITION AB09451A1B1X1

Replica Breitling Classic AVI Watches

Breitling marks the 70th anniversary of the AVI Co-Pilot with two collections and a Bonus 1964 reissue

Five new 42mm Classic AVI models, one black ceramic 46mm Super AVI and one limited edition AVI Ref. 765 1964 reissue

Today is the feast of Breitling's watch release. The brand didn't want to stagger the release and introduced seven new watches in the AVI collection. The line, which began with the Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1953 2020 Reissue, now sits alongside 14 models ranging in diameter from 41mm to 46mm. Each new 42mm Classic AVI Chronograph pays tribute to classic aircraft. The 46mm Super AVI "Mosquito Night Fighter" expands the GMT chronograph collection with the Breitling-manufactured B04 movement and a black ceramic case. Last but not least is my favourite, the stunning AVI Ref. 765 1964 replica, powered by the Breitling in-house B09 hand-wound movement and period-appropriate Hesalite crystal. The 1964 reprint, limited edition, is extremely attractive.replica watches for sale

For 2021, the Super AVI Chronograph GMT takes the Co-Pilot aesthetic from the 1953 remake and gives it a burly overhaul. The 46mm case was too much for our Thor Svaboe. However, I've come to appreciate its legibility for a GMT-capable chronograph. Even so, the case doesn't fit all wrist sizes; so the new classic AVI bridges the gap between true "capsule" entertainment from the 41mm to the 46 GMT gap in millimeters. The new Classic AVI model is 42mm in diameter for those who like the look but prefer the wearability. The Classic AVI retains the 12-hour bi-directional bezel with the addition of a ratchet every hour. Equally consistent are the design codes commemorating four aircraft—the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang, the Vought F4U Corsair, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and the de Havilland Mosquito.

Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42
As Thor says, you either have big wrists, or "...you need to work those forearms" to carry the 46mm Super AVI Chronograph GMT. This large diameter is why the new 42mm Classic AVI is designed to provide an easy-to-wear high quality watches replica that fits most wrists. Following the same theme as the GMT models, each watch reflects its namesake aircraft, with only the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang available in both stainless steel and 18K red gold metal options. While there is color imitation between the 42mm and 46mm, the obvious difference is the lack of GMT functionality on the new classic AVI series. The scales on the GMT version of the chronograph are starkly contrasting, but the Breitling-made B04 movement requires a solid case to house its construction.

The Classic AVI eschews the GMT complication and the chronograph movement B23 is based on the ETA 7753. While you don't get the power of a Breitling in-house movement, the case's 14.7mm profile is thinner than its Super 1.2mm AVI counterpart, pairing perfectly with the smaller diameter. That said, using the Breitling Caliber 23 also reduces the power reserve from 70 hours to 48 hours. Another change is a solid caseback instead of a display caseback with a sapphire crystal. Depending on where you stand, a full metal caseback could be a benefit, as it leans more towards the tool aesthetic. Aircraft engravings on each model represent each of the four aircraft. Each model is available with a choice of topstitched calfskin strap or a five-row metal bracelet.

Breitling Super AVI Mosquito Night Fighter
Next comes another member of the Super AVI family. Super AVI Mosquito Night Fighter takes my previous favorite de Havilland Mosquito model and renders it black ceramic. It is rare to see an all-ceramic Breitling watch. The last one I can remember with an all black ceramic case was the staggering €37,360 Superocean Heritage Chronoworks from 2016. I must say, it's great to see ceramics making a comeback here. The new Super AVI is inspired by the de Havilland Mosquito Night Fighter 2, an all-black two-seater Mosquito that glides quietly through the night sky. Stealthy looks aside, the Breitling Super AVI Mosquito Night Fighter retains the fantastic chronograph GMT layout, albeit with less contrast between the black dial and bezel and the anthracite sub-dials and 24-hour scale.high quality replica watches

Still, the indications are legible and remind me of Superocean Heritage Chronoworks without the steep, admittedly experimental price. Dimensions also conform to the Super AVI series, measuring 46mm wide and 15.9mm thick. It's big, but the Super AVI Mosquito Night Fighter exudes a powerful presence, paying homage to the legendary aircraft. Unlike the Classic AVI, the B04 Breitling Manufacture GMT chronograph movement is visible through a sapphire display window with Night Fighter 2 laser-etched into the crystal. There is also a 70-hour power reserve and blue-luminescent Super-LumiNova on the numerals, hour markers and hands. Part of me likes the tool style of watches with brushed black ceramic cases, but I also wish there was a smaller 42mm example in the Classic AVI range.

Maybe that will come, but for now, the Super AVI Mosquito Night Fighter comes with a black military-style textured calfskin strap and a titanium folding clasp.swiss replica Watches

Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1964 reissue
Saving the best for last, here's a limited reissue of the 1964 AVI Co-Pilot. This timepiece showcases the influence of respected vintage watch expert and Breitling advisor Fred Mandelbaum. AVI reference. The 765 1964 is a very faithful recreation of, you guessed it, its vintage 1964 predecessor. This model features a black bezel, a reverse panda dial, and vivid red triangle markers on the 12-hour scale. Breitling has recreated these details while modernizing materials and manufacturing techniques. For example, the black bezel uses amorphous diamond-like carbon (ADLC) for better durability. Also keeping the spirit of the original is the hand-wound chronograph movement, the modern in-house Breitling B09, which is essentially the B01 without the rotor and with a more refined finish.

That's not to say that the AVI Ref. 765 1964 replica watches for men reprint is completely modern. The crystal on the dial is Hesalite instead of sapphire, and there's a snap-fit solid steel case back and a non-screw-down crown. This means that this model is only water resistant to 30 meters, unlike the rest of the AVI range which is water resistant to 100 meters. But these features show a harmonious fusion of old and new elements, which is further reflected in the simple and unobtrusive logo on the dial. Perhaps the more controversial element is the vintage beige luminescent decoration on the hands and numerals. I love the subtle blend; the extra color provides a nice balance. AVI reference. The 765 1964 re-edition would have been too clinical with white lumens, while the five lumen interval markers on the minute counter provide a lovely pattern.

The Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1964 Reissue comes on a pin-buckle black vintage-style leather strap.

final thoughts
The classic AVI trades GMT functions and an internal movement for a stripped-down format that fits specific wrists. 42mm for Classic and 46mm for Super, there are more options to experience the tribute to each legendary aircraft. Classic and Super AVI models will coexist, but with the addition of AVI Ref. The 765 1964 limited editions are the ones I'm most excited about being released today and I can't wait to see them in the wild.Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino
