The Breitling Super Constellation Chronograph Watch

Attention all aviation enthusiasts! Breitling has announced the creation of a new watch that commemorates the restoration of the Super Constellation plane. This particular craft, nicknamed “Connie,” has a triple-tail design and a dolphin-shaped fuselage and was used as a civilian airliner, U.S military plane in WWII, and it also served as Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential aircraft. A total of 856 Super Constellation planes were constructed from 1943 to 1958 by Lockheed in Burbank, CA.

This particular breed of plane already has a standing history of being supported by Breitling as this famous luxury brand sponsored the Super Constellation’s restoration in 2001. At this time, only three of the Super Constellation planes are still in flying condition. After the tune-up of one of these planes, it was renamed the Breitling Super Constellation and outfitted with Breitling’s signature 1950’s era “B” logo on the tail. This plane has been featured in much of Breitling’s advertising.

This watch, of Breitling’s Navitimer collection, will be limited to 1,049 pieces. The case-back features an engraving of the Super Connie and the technical specifications of the aircraft. Proceeds from the purchase of the Breitling Super Constellation Chronograph will go towards the Swiss-based Super Constellation Flyers Association.
