This commemorative watch features a blue dial, steel case back with an inscription of the inspirational statement, “Honor Flight – One Last Mission.” The Honor Flight special edition watches replica are powered by Breitling’s Caliber 01 in-house chronograph movement. All watch sale proceeds are donated to the Honor Flight Network.
Breitling’s partnership with the Honor Flight organization began in November 2013. Since then, Breitling contributions have helped more than 500 veterans fly to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials dedicated to their service.
The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. They transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the memorials. Preference is granted to senior veterans, those who served in World War II or who are deemed terminally ill. The Honor Flight Network has flown nearly 160,000 veterans since 2005 and has more than 21,000 veterans on its waiting list.
