Breitling Avi Ref. 765 1964 Re Edition Black Dial Black Leather Strap Watch for Men - AB09451A1B1X1First released in 1953, the original Ref. 765 AVI, dubbed the Co Pilot, was a workhorse timepiece designed to serve pilots in the often unforgiving conditions of a single seat cockpit. Its size, legibility and ease of use made it a trusted flight instrument.
