Breitling Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 Mosquito Night Fighter is not a watch as such but a mechanical ode to one of the most adventurous planes of World War II. De Havilland Mosquito Night Fighter, the aircraft that later came to be known as Wooden Wonder, was made of wood but was faster, lightweight and capable of performing multiple roles than most of its metal competitors.
This 46mm chronograph is full of the spirit of that tale; a machine that went against the odds and worked best in the darkness. Juxtaposing its black design, GMT utility, and B04 production in-house movement, the Super AVI Night Fighter is the embodiment of both aviation and watchmaking. It is a watch that actually is a time-piece that spans ages with you having the time to have a time-piece of an aviation history with you and still have the sharpness of the Swiss craftsmanship.
The Mosquito Night Fighter: A Wooden Wonder in the Shadows
The Mosquito of De Havilland was radical at the time. The Mosquito was made of almost pure wood as opposed to other aircrafts made out of metal. This was a decision that was bold and unusual, thus rendering it to be incredibly lightweight and remarkably fast.
Its Night Fighter model was made legendary. It was painted with dark camouflage, had radar, and was deployed with stealth missions, thus able to intercept enemy aircraft in the darkness. It turned out that speed and agility could defeat brute force and rewrote the aviation strategy of the war.
By issuing an issue of the Super AVI honoring this aircraft, Breitling does not honor a plane, but an embodiment of innovation, strength and boldness.
Key Features: Designed Like an Instrument of Flight
46mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Ceramic Accents
The cockpit instrument boldness is snared by the 46mm oversized case. It is made with an alloy of stainless steel and black ceramic inlays and this shows the duality of power and elusiveness.
Aviation-Inspired Dial
The large Arabic numerals used on the black dial, the glowing hands, and the chronograph counters are meant to be the most readable among others, even in the dark, as the night missions of the Mosquito.
Orange and Red Highlights
There are subtle reds on the GMT hand and oranges on the cockpit lights like the radar screen and lights of the WWII fighters that add weight to the aviation narrative.
