Breitling Aviator 8 Mosquito Chronograph Watch hands-on debut At the Breitling Summit in Los Angeles, the brand just announced some newly released products, and this new Aviator 8 "Mosquito" is one of the most popular products. You will recall the olive green Curtiss Warhawk version of this chronograph, while the mosquitoes are black in the ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon) case, painted on the hands and the sub-dial separately There are red and orange. The mosquito is naturally named after the aircraft, referring to the de Havilland mosquito, a light fighter jet from the 1940s, almost entirely made of wood. Visually, the inspiration comes from the old 765 AVI aka Co-Pilot chronograph, especially in the early 1960s.
For those who may have forgotten, Aviator 8 is part of the Navitimer series, which was thoroughly overhauled by Georges Kern in 2018. Equipped with the internal B01 movement, they are located at the high end of the Breitling chronograph. To be fair, I don't know much about Aviator 8-but like the prime minister, handling parts with metal changed my mind. Classical design can be developed in many different directions, but to a large extent depends on execution, which is obviously the focus of Breitling in the Kern era. chronowrist.ru
