BREITLING Aviator 8 1953 Limited Edition Mens Watch RB0920131B1X1

Introducing the Breitling Aviator 8 1953 Limited Edition Men's Watch (RB0920131B1X1). A tribute to the legendary Co-Pilot Ref. 765 AVI from the 1950s, this timepiece blends heritage with luxury. The original Co-Pilot was renowned for its rugged durability and functional design, complementing the iconic Navitimer. The Aviator 8 1953 Edition reimagines this classic with a contemporary twist.

Featuring a striking all-black dial under a highly-domed Hesalite crystal, the watch maintains the classic Arabic numerals of the original Co-Pilot. Its design includes tone-on-tone chronograph counters for the small seconds, 15 minutes, and 12 hours, all highlighted by hand-applied Super-LumiNova. This carefully chosen luminescent material pays homage to the vintage aesthetics of its predecessor.

Housed in a 41mm 18k red gold case, the Aviator 8 1953 Edition offers water resistance up to 30 meters (3 bar). It’s powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, a hand-wound, COSC-certified movement derived from the esteemed Caliber 01. Complementing its luxurious design, the watch comes with a brown, vintage-inspired leather strap and an 18k red gold pin buckle.

Limited to just 253 pieces, each watch is individually engraved with "ONE OF 253," making it a rare collector's item.
