The military green dial also tributes the main colour of the aircraft while also providing the perfect backdrop to bold Arabic numerals and propeller shaped hour and minute hands coated in Superluminova. Embraced within the case of this Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss P-40 Warhawk watch is the COSC certified Breitling 01 mechanical movement which equips the watch with hour and minute function, a sub-seconds dial, 30 minutes and 12 hours chronograph counters, central chronograph seconds, a date window and a power reserve of 70 hours.
