Three new Breitling aviator watches honor the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.
“Curtiss Wright produced the P-40 Warhawk at the same time Breitling and its Huit Aviation Department were making on-board instruments for planes used by the RAF and other air forces,” said Breitling CEO Georges Kern.
The new watches are the Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk, the Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk, and the Aviator 8 Automatic 41 Curtiss Warhawk.
The back of each watch features an image of an airborne P-40 Warhawk in the paint scheme used by the American Volunteer Group in the Chinese Air Force’s famed Flying Tigers unit.
