A Discussion and Hands-On Review of my Breitling 765 AVI Re-Edition. One of the best examples of a reissue watch that has seemingly gone unnoticed by many of us. Why did I Choose this Breitling instead of an Omega Speedmaster? From its odd (and barely discussed) Origin Story made alongside the 806 Navitimer, to a design that is both simple and complicated. A worthy successor replacing my Longines Avigation BigEye with a few quirks and details that make it stand out from the crowd.
