Inspired by the designs of Breitling’s very first pilot watches, this remarkable Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph beautifully captures the legendary essence of the aviation brand with its ratcheted bezel, legible dial and overpowered automatic movement. It’s statement 43mm stainless steel case and unique bidirectional bezel harks back to the designs of the pilots watches originally released by company founder Willy Breitling and his Huit Aviation Department in the 1940’s while its ratcheted detailing makes it easy for pilots of the contemporary world to handle even when wearing thick gloves.

This Breitling Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 watch not only conquers with its aesthetic, but it comes equipped with one of the brand’s most famous automatic movements. The B01 Manufacture self-winding calibre is designed in-house by the brand themselves and has been COSC certified to be accurate to -4 to +6 seconds a day. It’s impressive 70 hour power reserve means you can leave the timepiece off your wrist for days without having to worry about winding it while its powerful chronograph function including the 30 minutes and 12 hours counters allows you to time intervals with ease. Each of these functions are displayed beautifully on a smooth anthracite dial detailed with a red tipped chronograph seconds hand, date window at 4 o clock, black subsidiary dials and Superluminova coated hour and minute hands. To complete the look of this Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph watch, a sophisticated black alligator leather strap is added alongside a classic stainless steel folding buckle.
