One of Willy Breitling's many celebrated achievements was the introduction of the Huit Aviation Department in 1938, and Breitling was well aware of the high demands placed on military and civil aviation.
He named the department "huit", the French word for "eight", to commemorate the eight-day power reserve of the on-board clocks and other instruments on the cockpit instrument panels.
