Quick TakeThis Breitling AVI 1953 Edition Platinum is a real blast from the past! It's like they took a classic pilot's watch, cranked up the luxury with platinum, and gave it a cool blue makeover. The domed Hesalite crystal is a nice touch, giving it that old-school vibe. But don't let the vintage looks fool you – this watch has a serious engine under the hood. That hand-wound B09 caliber is a workhorse with a 70-hour power reserve, so you can take it off for the weekend and it'll still be ticking come Monday morning. And with only 153 of these bad boys out there, you'll be in an exclusive club. It's the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance – a watch that tells a story while keeping precise time.

DescriptionThe Breitling Classic AVI 1953 Edition Platinum (LB0920131C1X1) is a meticulously crafted timepiece that pays homage to the Co-Pilot Ref. 765 AVI, a legend in aviation timekeeping. This re-edition captures the essence of the original with its 41mm platinum case, highly-domed Hesalite crystal, and a blue dial featuring the iconic Arabic numerals and tone-on-tone chronograph counters. The watch is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, a hand-wound, COSC-certified movement with a 70-hour power reserve. This caliber, based on the renowned Breitling Caliber 01, ensures exceptional accuracy and reliability.

The bidirectional rotating bezel allows for easy tracking of a second time zone or elapsed time. The watch features a non-screw-locked crown with one gasket, providing water resistance up to 3 bar (30 meters). The use of Hesalite crystal, a period-correct material, adds a touch of vintage authenticity. The timepiece is finished with a gold brown calfskin leather strap and an 18k white gold pin buckle. With a total weight of 138g and a watch-head weight of 122g, the AVI 1953 Edition Platinum is a substantial yet comfortable watch to wear. Limited to only 153 pieces, each timepiece is engraved “ONE OF 153” on the case back, signifying its exclusivity. The dimensions of the case are 41mm in diameter, 14.05mm in thickness, and 48.71mm from lug tip to lug tip.
