Breitling presents the new classic AVI “Co-Pilot” in a 42 mm case Breitling showcased their modern Super AVI collection at an airstrip in Dallas in 2021, featuring real warplanes and pilots. We’re here to bring you live coverage, and while we spotted some of the design, the case itself measures 46 x 15.9mm, making it harder to swallow. To solve this problem, Breitling introduced a new Classic AVI series in the collection, which had a more wrist-friendly 42×14.7mm case, but sacrificed the GMT complication found in the Super AVI series. Additionally, there is a 41mm reference in this version. 765 1964 re-edition, faithful to the old school form inside and out.
The new Classic AVI watch follows the same design language as we’ve seen in the Super AVI, itself a reference to the early ’50s Breitling model 765, a watch that won the ‘Co-Pilot’ award for its usefulness to pilots nickname time. The design of the Super AVI watches was inspired by the iconic WWII aircraft, and the Classic AVI collection utilizes the same scheme to good effect. This includes the P-51 Mustang, Vought F4U Corsair, Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and Mosquito aircraft, each in 4 different colorways.
The latest AVI watches use the Breitling Caliber 23, which is their modified Valjoux 7753. This means that the pricing is also more attractive than the Super AVI series, and if you like bracelets, one of the watches released in this classic AVI series is the ref.

The dial of the 765 1964 Re-Edition is more serene, with baton markers and pencil hands, and a single numeral 12 at the top of the dial. The seconds and hours totalizer sub-dials have also been cleaned up a bit, while the unique minutes totalizer remains at 3 o’clock. This particular watch has a 41mm case, is 14mm thick, and even touts an acrylic crystal for maximum vintage appeal. Additionally, the watch uses Breitling-made Caliber 23, a hand-wound chronograph movement with a 70-hour reserve.
The 765 1974 Re-Edition is probably the most striking modern watch to bear the AVI nameplate and respect the origin of the name in the best possible way. It’s a poignant reminder of the beauty that underpins the design language of modern Breitling. discount fake watches
