BREITLING. A STAINLESS STEEL MANUAL WIND CHRONOGRAPH BRACELET WATCH Model: Co-Pilot Reference: 765 AVI Date: c. 1960s Movement: 17-jewel manual wind Dial: Black Case: Tonneau form, screw down case back Strap/Bracelet: Stainless steel link Buckle/Clasp: Stainless steel folding clasp Signed: Case, dial, and movement Size: 41mm Accompaniments: None Footnotes: Breitling has always been synonymous with aviation, and the Reference 765, introduced in 1953, was a companion to the Navitimer in the Breitling catalog. The present example is one of the early renditions, with two registers and a date window as opposed to the more commonplace three registers. And with the popularity of retro designs and classic chronographs, the modern Breitling recently released a historical homage to the present watch in their current lineup.
