Breitling Aviator 8 | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to HODINKEE's Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next best thing to having the watch in your own hands. If you haven't heard, Breitling makes pilot's watches. A lot of pretty cool ones, too. The Breitling Aviator 8 collection takes this aviation inspiration the brand is known for and strips back everything else. This means the dial designs are simpler and the cases are often smaller, with the various complications of the range communicating only what's absolutely necessary. They're not for today's pilots, strictly speaking – most of them have computers to help with flying nowadays instead (unless you're a Southwest pilot, that is) – but the Aviator 8 line is certainly pilot-inspired.
