Quick TakeThis Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Corsair is a real pilot's watch, built tough with its burly stainless steel case and that grippy, knurled bezel. The blue dial is a nod to the Corsair's iconic paint job, and those big, bold numerals just scream "legibility" - perfect for when you're blasting through the clouds. It's powered by a trusty Breitling Caliber 23 automatic movement, so you know it's got the guts to handle any adventure. This is more than just a watch; it's a tribute to a legendary aircraft and a reminder of a time when aviation was all about guts and glory.

DescriptionThe Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Tribute to Vought F4U Corsair (A233801A1C1A1) is a pilot's watch engineered with precision and durability in mind. It features a 42mm diameter stainless steel case, measuring 14.70mm in thickness and weighing 169g with the stainless steel bracelet. The watch-head itself weighs approximately 87g. The case design incorporates a screwed-in caseback and a bidirectional ratcheted bezel for enhanced functionality. A screw-locked crown with two gaskets ensures water resistance up to 10 bars. The watch's dimensions include a lug-to-lug height of 48mm and a lug width of 22mm.

This timepiece is powered by the Breitling Caliber 23, a self-winding mechanical movement with an approximate 48-hour power reserve. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers chronograph functionality with 1/4th second, 30-minute, and 12-hour counters. A dial aperture displays the date. The dial features large Arabic numerals for optimal readability, a key characteristic for pilot's watches. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, 22mm at the lugs and tapering to 18mm at the clasp, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
