The history of Breitling is intimately linked to the history of aviation. In the 1930s. the brand's Huit Aviation department created accurate on-board chronometers. In the 1950s. Ref. 765 AVI was born. the first pilot's watch of its kind. Embracing the strength and sophistication of these iconic planes. the Classic AVI P-51 Mustang pays tribute to a powerful classic. Developed by North American Aviation in just 120 days in 1940. the single-seat fighter had advanced low-drag wings and cooling systems. all of which enabled its incredible speed and range. Even more remarkably. the inclusion of a Merlin engine extended this fighter's capabilities to high altitudes. solidifying its status as the premier all-purpose aircraft at the time.
