  The only place in the World where you can see five days of real air racing by six classes of aircraft up close and personal is the Reno National Championship Air Races.  In September 2007, the National Championship Air Races and Air Show will return to Reno, Nevada, USA for six classes of racing aircraft and a first-class airshow including some of the world's top aerobatic performers and military aircraft.
  
  In keeping with Breitlings long professional aviation history, a limited edition Airwolf has been produced for the races.  The Reno National Championship Air Race logo is on the dial and the limited edition number will be engraved on the back of the case. There will only be 75 of these unique timepieces available.
  
  Keeping its finger firmly on the pulse of the needs expressed by aviation professionals, Breitling has developed the Airwolf in a resolutely functional spirit.  This chronograph is an impressive wrist instrument making the most of the possibilities afforded by electronics.
  
  Its numerous functions have been kept to those actually required by professional pilots: 1/100th of a second chronograph with split times, alarm, countdown, 2nd timezone with independent alarm, UTC (co-ordinated universal time) and perpetual calendar.
  
  Handling of these functions is designed to be logical, simple and direct, and an NVG-compatible display backlighting system enables night-time read-off. Its aeronautical vocation is underscored by Breitling's exclusive rack-and-pinion mounted slide rule. The Airwolf is also endowed with undeniable attractive aesthetic assets, including perfectly ergonomic curving chronograph pushpieces and, above all, a turbine shaped construction on the caseback serving as a resonance chamber for the alarm and the other audible indications.
