Breitling has debuted a few different models, including the Avenger collection and many of its existing popular designs at the Los Angeles Summit back in September.

For us at The Millionaire Edition, there was a watch that stood out most amongst their collection, the new Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Mosquito.

The new watch is essentially based on the existing poplar Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph design, but it brings new life into it wit h combining elements of vintage and modern styling influences.

Within the last few years, Breitling has been naming its newest models after famous planes. This new watch is no different, they have called it Aviator 8 Mosquito.

The watch was named after a British aircraft which was built between to 1940’s to 1950’s. This plane was not as famous as the British Spitfire jet, however the Aviator 8 Mosquito did play an important role.

The plan was used in a number of key roles during World war II. The plane was used as a bomber, fighter plane, doing intelligence gathering to finally transporting passengers.

The plane was nicknamed as the “Wooden Wonder”, this is due to its lightweight plywood and balsa wood frame and construction, which made it very light and fastest plan during that time period.

This plane also offered Britain a suitable alternative due to aluminium shortages during the second world war.

Breitling mentioned that the new Aviator 8 Mosquito watch holds the same versatility and functionality as the aircraft. This is due to its stylish chronograph mimicking the ethos of the plane. The watch is ready to be worn for any situation.
