Breitling Airwolf Professional
Founded in Saint-Imier, Switzerland in 1884 by Léon Breitling, the brand built its reputation as a specialist in precision chronographs for aviation and the military. Breitling was among the first watch manufacturers to develop instruments for aircraft cockpits, and the Professional collection carries that heritage directly: a line of pilot's tools designed in close cooperation with aviation professionals and built around genuine operational functionality. The Airwolf, introduced in 2007 as the successor to the B-1, is one of the most technically complete pilot's watches ever produced — a full multifunction instrument watch with an analogue-digital display and a thermocompensated movement.
Reference A78363 is a 43.5 mm stainless steel ana-digi pilot's watch, combining analogue time display via two central hands with two independent digital readouts at twelve and six o'clock. The blue sunburst dial carries luminescent oversized hands and Arabic numerals at three, six and nine, with the digital displays showing a perpetual calendar, second time zone with independent alarm, countdown timer, chronograph with split and add functions, and UTC time. The caseback is shaped to echo turbine blades, functioning as a resonating chamber to amplify acoustic alarm signals. At its heart beats the Breitling Calibre 78, a thermocompensated SuperQuartz movement accurate to ±15 seconds per year — serious specifications at this price point. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal carries anti-reflective coating. The bidirectional rotating stainless steel bezel features a slide rule scale for aviation calculations. Water resistance is rated to 50 metres. The watch is fitted on a stainless steel Professional II bracelet with a fold-over deployant clasp.
This Breitling Airwolf Professional is in near mint condition and comes as a full set. It had a full service with new movement by Breitling in 2025 so ready for daily wear again!
