Breitling Watch Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Mosquito Tang Type AB01194A1B1X1.

Designed to tribute the famous Havilland Mosquito plane, this remarkable Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Mosquito watch perfectly balances the line between vintage and contemporary with a design inspired by 1930’s onboard flight clocks and the powerful in-house B01 Manufacture automatic movement. The Havilland Mosquito plane was known for being a lightweight aircraft made almost entirely out of wood renowned for its speed and manoeuvrability. This Breitling Aviator 8 Mosquito watch beautifully tributes the aircraft through its retro inspired design that has also been influenced by the Breitling 765 AVI Co-Pilot watch which is considered one of the best looking vintage Breitling chronographs ever made. 

The Breitling Aviator 8 Mosquito Chronograph watch comes presented with a stunning 43mm stainless steel case fitted with a black stain-brushed ADLC-coated stainless steel bezel decorated with a practical red pointer. The 100 metre water resistance case is also equipped with a screw locked crown and cambered sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The same sapphire glass can be found on the case back which provides a mesmerising view of the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 inside. This in-house automatic movement has been COSC certified and provides a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The calibre is also responsible for powering each of the functions on the dial including hour, minute and central chronograph seconds, date feature and three subsidiary dials for continuous seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours. Becoming the centrepiece to the entire design, the dial of the Breitling Aviator 8 Mosquito watch is decorated in a smooth black finish with Superluminova hour, minute and central seconds hands and eye-catching red and orange accents that recall the roundels and markings found on the fuselage of the Havilland Mosquito plane.
