Breitling presented the new AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition, a pilot watch inspired to the 1953 Ref. 765 AVI model known as the "Co-Pilot". The Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition (ref. AB0920131B1X1) has a retail price of Euro 7,700. The price of ref. RB0920131B1X1 in red gold is Euro 20,480. The price of ref. LB0920131C1X1 in platinum is Euro 38,000
Inspired to the Ref. 765 AVI pilot’s watch (where AVI stood for “aviation”) of 1953 also known as the "Co-Pilot", the new Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition is the brand’s second historical re-edition after the Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition presented last year.
Produced in a limited series of 1953 pieces, each of which will be numbered “ONE OF 1953”, the new model is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, a manually wound mechanical chronograph movement certified by COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) as a chronometer. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph), it offers a power reserve of 70 hours.
The 41.1 mm stainless steel case is water resistant to 30 meters / 100 feet and is enhanced by a rotating bezel secured by three screws that are placed in precisely the same positions as those on the watch from 1953.
Protected by a domed hesalite crystal, the black dial features thin syringe hands and the same Arabic numerals as the 1953 Co-Pilot as well as hand- applied Super-LumiNova, whose colour has been carefully chosen to recall the luminescent material on the original.
Matched to a black vintage-inspired leather strap with a pin buckle, the Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition (ref. AB0920131B1X1) has a retail price of Euro 7,700.
Together with this Re-Edition faithfully reproducing the original, Breitling introduced two
AVI 1953 Edition models in precious metals.
The first is crafted in red gold with a black dial and a brown vintage-inspired leather strap. This model will have a limited-edition run of 253 pieces. The price of ref. RB0920131B1X1 is Euro 20,480.
The second model, available in a limited edition of 153 pieces, comes in platinum with a blue dial and a gold vintage-inspired leather strap. The price of ref. LB0920131C1X1 is Euro 38,000. breitling.com
