Latest Vintage Piece
Breitling Aviator 8 A13316 43mm $3,500.00 CAD. 515-00098
The essence of a pilot watch is a large easy to operate and interpret instrument. Doodads and gadgets that complicate the operation are fun to play with, but they don’t help make an aviator’s job any easier. The Breitling Aviator 8 is the perfect pilots tool for time keeping. The large 43mm case wears a bit larger than it looks, no thick bezel lets the face be as large as possible. The dial itself is a semigloss black finish providing great contrast with large luminous hands and Arabic hour markers.
The super hard sapphire crystal has been treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides to keep reflections to a minimum.
A traditional chronograph is useful for timing extended events up to 12 hours in length. A day-date calendar provides some practical utility and fills in some otherwise empty geography at the 3 o:clock position.
Powering the watch is Breitling’s calibre 13 (a modified Valjoux 7751). Breitling’s watchmakers tweak this already capable movement to reach certified chronometer accuracy levels. The thin rotating bezel is indexed for 12 hours enabling the watch to display a second time zone in AM/PM format.
The watch is fitted with a lightly worn generic blue leather strap with stainless steel buckle. We have 24mm replacement straps in stock that should snugly fit the uncommon 23mm lug width on this watch. The watch does not come with any original documents or packaging.
Working well, keeping excellent time and all functions are operating as designed. Included with purchase is our complimentary 1-year warranty (prorated 4 additional years). Breitling still make a classic aviator style watch looking almost the same for $7,250.00 CAD as seen on their website. Our estate example is priced at $3,500.00 CAD. 515-00098.
