The Watches of Switzerland Group has applied to City of York Council to replace an existing shop front at 4 Davygate.
The site, between Betty’s Cafe and the former Debenhams unit, has been empty since the Halifax Building Society pulled out in 2018.
The planning application says the unit, in the Central Conservation area, will be used by high-end boutique brand Breitling, with the unit operated by the Watches of Switzerland Group.
Breitling is a Swiss luxury watchmaker founded in 1884 and is known for its precision-made chronometers designed for aviators.
