The Classic AVI P-51 Mustang honors one of those legends. When the aircraft was built in a mere 120 days, everrits developer North American Aviation, didn’t anticipate what a powerhouse it had on its hands. The 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.

The 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 AV is the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 23 movement, which provides approximately 48-hours of power reserve.
