Quick TakeThis isn't just a watch; it's a time machine! The AVI Ref. 765 1964 Re-Edition throws it back to the golden age of aviation with its classic chronograph styling and that oh-so-cool vintage domed crystal. But don't let the retro vibes fool you, this bad boy is packing some serious horological heat. Under the hood, you've got the hand-wound Caliber B09, a beast of a movement with a 70-hour power reserve. Limited to just 164 pieces, this is a watch for those who appreciate the perfect blend of heritage and high-performance mechanics. It's a watch that tells a story, a story of adventure, precision, and timeless style.

DescriptionThe Breitling Classic AVI Ref. 765 1964 Re-Edition (AB09451A1B1X1) is a faithful reproduction of the renowned “Co-Pilot” watch originally launched in 1953. Limited to 164 pieces, this timepiece meticulously captures the essence of its predecessor while incorporating contemporary enhancements. The watch features a 41mm stainless steel case, measuring 14.05mm in thickness, contributing to an overall wrist presence characterized by a height of 48.71mm measured from lug tip to lug tip. A bidirectional ratcheted bezel, finished in black via an amorphous diamond-like-carbon (ADLC) coating, frames the watch's dial. Protecting the dial is a hesalite crystal, a period-correct detail that underscores the watch's vintage charm.

The watch is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, a hand-wound mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This movement, comprised of 34 jewels, operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides timekeeping functionality alongside a chronograph complication capable of measuring 1/4th second, 15 minutes, and 12 hours. The watch's black dial features baton indexes and lumed pencil hands, replicating the original design cues that made the Ref. 765 AVI a favorite among pilots and watch enthusiasts alike. A non-screw-locked crown with one gasket ensures water resistance to 3 bars. The watch is fitted with a black calfskin leather strap, 22/18mm in width, secured by an 18mm stainless steel tang-type buckle. The watch-head weighs approximately 73.3g, with the total weight, including the strap, reaching 85.88g.
