Breitling-Aviator 8 Mosquito The new Aviator 8 Mosquito launched by Breitling is a tribute to de Havilland Mosquito. The aircraft is made almost entirely of wood, and its speed and maneuverability were successful in the early 1940s.

The newest member of the Aviator series includes a 43mm stainless steel case and a black satin-brushed ADLC coated stainless steel bezel with red hands, indexes and Arabic numerals. Compared with the usual DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, the ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon) treatment can provide a darker tone while further improving the hardness.

Its black dial has a contrasting silver dial, which is characteristic of the Aviator 8 model driven by the internal movement of the Breitling Caliber 01.

The orange central hour hand, minute hand and central second hand are all coated with Super-LumiNova coating, which can clearly display the watch even in low light conditions. The red and orange accents are used to evoke the circular symbols and markings on the body of de Havilland Mosquito. The date window on the dial is between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock.

Through the transparent sapphire case back, you can see the power reserve of Breitling Calibre 01 for approximately 70 hours, beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour). It has been certified as an astronomical clock by the Swiss Official Astronomical Clock Testing Institute (COSC).

Breitling Aviator 8 Mosquito is waterproof to 10 bar (100 meters / 330 feet) and comes with a brown vintage leather strap. It can be paired with pushpin buckle (refer to AB01194A1B1X1) or folding buckle (refer to AB01194A1B1X2). chronowrist.ru
