DESCRIPTION

  • THREE NEW BREITLING WATCHES COMMEMORATE AN AVIATION LEGEND: THE CURTISS P-40 WARHAWK

    For the better part of a century, Breitling has enjoyed a global reputation for its links to the world of aviation and for its pilot’s watches. And, with the release of two chronographs and an understated three-hand watch com- memorating a partnership with the maker of the iconic P-40 Warhawk airplane, Breitling makes it clear that avia- tion remains an essential part of its brand DNA.

    Three new Breitling Aviator 8 Curtiss Warhawk watches honor Curtiss Wright, a renowned American aircraft manufacturer, and the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, its most famous plane. The P-40 Warhawks were manufactured between 1938 and 1944. Two chrono- graphs – one featuring a Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 movement – have been introduced along with a stun- ning three-hand model.

    Breitling CEO Georges Kern says: “Curtiss Wright pro- duced the P-40 Warhawk at the same time Breitling and its Huit Aviation Department were making on- board instruments for planes used by the RAF and other air forces. With this partnership and these great new watches, we are reaffirming the importance of Breitling’s aviation heritage to the brand.”

    The Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk

    The Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk is distinguished by its military green dial with a matte finish. The contrasting silver subdials – 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph counters and a small sec- ond subdial – indicate that the watch is driven by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, the brand’s in-house mechanical movement, which delivers a remarkable power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

    The striking chronograph is equipped with a bidirec- tional rotating bezel featuring Arabic numerals and indexes as well as a practical red pointer. The Super- LumiNova® coating on the hour and minute hands and the Arabic numerals on the dial make it easy to read the time in any light.

    The COSC-certified chronometer has a 43-millimeter stainless-steel case presented on a green military strap. It is water-resistant up to 10 bar (100 meters/330 feet).

    The eye-catching caseback has a transparent sapphire crystal printed with a Curtiss inscription and an image of an airborne P-40 Warhawk, whose design, with its shark’s mouth and color scheme, is based on the characteristic paint job associated with the plane when it was piloted by the American Volunteer Group in the Chinese Air Force’s famed Flying Tigers unit.

    The Breitling Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk

    The Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk fea- tures a military green dial with a matte finish and tone- on-tone subdials – 12-hour and 30-minute chrono- graph counters and a small second subdial. Its black nickel-plated hour and minute hands, as well as the Arabic numerals on the dial, are coated with Super-LumiNova®, so they are legible even in the most challenging of lighting conditions.

    At the heart of the Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk is the Breitling Caliber 13, a mechanical movement renowned for its stability and performance. It offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

    The chronograph’s distinctive caseback is engraved with a Curtiss inscription and an image of a P-40 Warhawk with the dramatic shark’s mouth paintwork that made a powerful visual impact when the plane was part of the Chinese Air Force’s famous Flying Tigers unit and flown by pilots of the American Volunteer Group.

    This COSC-certified chronometer, which is water- resistant up to 10 bar (100 meters/330 feet), is pre- sented on a green military strap.
