Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on.

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Breitling was established in 1884 and is known for its bold timepieces and strong connection to aviation. The brand has a rich history of creating watches designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts, as seen in its iconic collection, the Navitimer. Another icon among its collections is the Avenger, which was redesigned last year to feature new looks and colors inspired by military uniforms. Continuing this style, Breitling also released two Avenger Chronographs for the British Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, driving aviation inspired watches to new frontiers.

Breitling continues to honor its heritage and strong ties to aviation with the release of three new Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission U.S. Navy Editions. These timepieces pay tribute to three elite U.S. naval aviation forces: the USN Dust Devils, USN Bloodhounds, and the U.S. Naval Academy.

Following the style of the recently introduced Red Arrows variants, Breitling has integrated the elite U.S. naval aviation forces into its Night Mission version of the Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 collection. The tri boasts a 44mm diameter case with a thickness of 15.2mm, crafted from black ceramic with titanium pushers and crown, and protected by sapphire crystal on both sides.

The US Naval Academy edition features a blue dial with yellow accents, while the USN Bloodhounds edition also includes yellow accents but opts for an anthracite dial. The USN Dust Devils edition showcases a black dial with red accents. All dials share a tri-compax layout, with each emblem displayed on the small seconds sub-dial at the 9 o’clock position and a date window at 6 o’clock.

The watches are powered by the Breitling B01 caliber, an in-house automatic movement that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a 70-hour power reserve. They come with either a black or blue leather strap, featuring different stitching hues depending on the variant, and a titanium folding clasp. All releases join the permanent collection and are priced at AED 38,500.
