Just in time for Christmas, Cirrus lovers can get the ultimate gift — a Cirrus-branded Breitling watch. The Aerospace Evo Cirrus Aircraft Limited Edition watch adds some special touches to Breitling’s proven Aerospace Evo, which exhibits a simple design made specifically for pilots. It includes an NVG-compatible display, digital calendar, dual time zones, alarm features and more on a glare-proof sapphire crystal display.

Several embellishments set the new Aerospace Evo Cirrus Aircraft Limited Edition watch apart from other watches in Breitling's stellar collection. The face of the watch features not only the Cirrus logo but also the silhouette of a Cirrus airplane. Also, the hour hand has three parallel bars signifying the three piston models of airplanes that Cirrus has put to market: the SR20, the SR22 and the SR22T. At the base of the minute hand and on the caseback is the symbol of a parachute — the main piece of equipment that set the Cirrus apart from other airplanes on the market when it was first introduced 15 years ago — a potentially lifesaving piece of equipment that is now widely adopted into many light aircraft models.

Like Breitling’s other limited-edition watches, each timepiece is numbered. The Aerospace Evo Cirrus Aircraft Limited Edition watch will be serialized to 220, a number symbolizing a blend of the SR20 and SR22. The price tag for the limited-edition watch is $4,930.
