Breitling is a Swiss watchmaker found in 1884 by Leon Breitling. Breitling are renowned for precision-made chronometers.
Historically, Breitling sourced movements from suppliers such as Valjoux, ETA, and Venus rather than producing movements in-house. In 2009 Breitling developed the B01, an in-house self-winding, column wheel chronograph movement, used in the Breitling Chronomat 01 and subsequently Navitimer 01.
Founded in 1884, Breitling has become synonymous with technical perfection and attention to detail. Making history as one of the first Swiss wristwatches to pioneer the chronograph, the feature continues to be a defining element throughout each collection, from the Avenger to the Transocean collections. Breitling is known for its close association with aviation and it has played a major role in developing precise time instruments for flight, inventing the start/stop functions for controlling flight times. Each Breitling luxury watch collection reflects the company’s history of design and demand for perfection, including the world-famous Breitling for Bentley, Chronomat, Montbrilliant and Navitimer. The Breitling designs invoke speed and action, featuring large polished cases and bracelets made from the finest leather and polished steel. Each Breitling watch is masterfully designed, and hard to come by, and built for those who live life in the fast lane.
Breitling combines style with performance in a distinctive ladies’ model interpreted in many different guises. With a bezel in tungsten carbide, an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant high-tech material. With a diamond-set bezel. With luminescent applied hour-markers or diamond hour-markers. In steel, steel & gold or all-gold versions. Not forgetting a choice of four dials (natural mother-of-pearl, blue, black or champagne) and various types of strap/bracelet. The sturdy case water-resistant to 100 m (330 ft) houses a SuperQuartz™ movement ten times more precise than standard quartz. A classy take on a great sports timepiece.
