Replica Breitling Classic AVI Watches

Breitling’s Classic AVI family draws heavily on the company’s long relationship with aviation and the pilot watches it developed during the middle of the twentieth century.

Rather than following the technical slide-rule layout of the Navitimer, Classic AVI watches use a more traditional pilot chronograph style with prominent numerals, rotating bezels and highly legible displays.

From the Ref. 765 to Modern AVI Watches

A major source of inspiration for the collection is the historic Breitling Ref. 765 AVI. Modern re-editions and Super AVI models reinterpret that aviation aesthetic through contemporary cases, movements and materials.

The range also includes references inspired by famous aircraft, giving individual versions distinct dial colours and historical themes.

Super AVI Models

Super AVI watches are generally large and purposeful, with many models combining chronograph and GMT functions. Their substantial proportions make case size, thickness and lug shape particularly important when comparing different versions.

What Matters on a Classic AVI Replica?

Key areas to examine include the shape and typography of the Arabic numerals, bezel proportions, chronograph subdials, crown and pusher design, case thickness and strap construction.

For GMT versions, the scale and additional hand should also be positioned correctly relative to the original reference.
