the North American P-51 Mustang, the Vought F4U Corsair, the P-40 Curtiss Warhawk, and the de Havilland Mosquito. As exemplified by this new collection, the company aims to utilize materials, color schemes and other elements that help to tell an unmistakable story. An example from the Super AVI collection is the Mosquito Chronograph. This particular watch has “a combination polished and satin-brushed black ceramic bezel and a black dial with white contrasting chronograph counters. Its red and orange elements recall the roundels and markings found on the
versatile plane, dubbed the ‘Wooden Wonder.’”
Of course, the classics still get their fair share of deserved attention and the Navitimer has been considered by many the quintessential pilot’s watch for seven decades. But no matter one’s interests and type of watch that they are
looking for, it all comes down to the experience of buying and owning one. Christiaan recommends that anyone interested in the brand’s watches begin their journey at a Breitling Boutique.
Here, one can receive the in-person, dedicated attention that they deserve when considering investing in a luxury timepiece. The associates are there to help walk anyone through available options and explain elements that vary amongst the different Breitling watches, as well as other manufacturers’ timepieces.
And for those looking to bring one home, the purchase experience is well worth the “white glove service and champagne celebration.” In the same vein, Christiaan emphasized Breitling watches are meant to be enjoyed: “Life is too short. Tomorrow is definitely not guaranteed, so use the fine china today. A watch at the end of the day, regardless of its price, is meant to be worn. So, strap it on your wrist and get in the cockpit!”
