Three new Breitling Aviator 8 watches pay tribute to the famous American aircraft manufacturer Curtiss Wright and his most famous aircraft, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. The P-40 Warhawk was built between 1938 and 1944. With the release of two chronographs, one powered by the Breitling-made Calibre 01 and an understated three-hand watch, Breitling has made it clear that aviation remains an integral part of its brand DNA.
These three new watches – Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk, Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk and Aviator 8 Automatic 41 Curtiss Warhawk – celebrate the partnership between two true aviation pioneers. The Aviator 8 watches embody the proud aviation heritage of two important brands, but with their modern retro style, they are sure to appeal to a new generation of watch lovers.
