Breitling Watches: An Obsession With Quality

Breitling Watches

Not many brands can say they have a history of creating products that rely on precision, and even fewer can say their history of precision stretches back to the 1800s. The feathers in Breitling's cap are many: the introduction of the pule-taking pulsograph for physicians, their historical sports timekeepers, multi-day power reserve watches and more. But they're most famous for their precision-grade chronometers—necessities for any type of air or marine travel. While many have come to imitate modern chronographraphy, Breitling watches have spent over a century perfecting the art so you can wear one on your wrist.

The Breitling Chronograph

Having navigational tools on your wrist are a must when you're in the air or diving: that's why both the SuperOcean and Navitimer style lines are crafted with the utmost care. It's all about function and crisp timekeeping with these two pillar watches. For the SuperOcean, that means promoting visibility and luminescence as users dive down. Thanks to Super-LumiNova™ technology, reading underwater is made even easier. And with models that are water-resistant up to 300 meters down, divers won't have a problem exploring the depths. Keeping track of how much oxygen you have left is easy thanks to the ultra-large hands. Wear one of these and you'll be diving, surfing and boating all day—precisely.

When it comes to aviation, there's no pick like the Navitimer. This model has helped aviators to navigate the skies for decades, with a circular slide rule that helps perform flight calculations. It's even been to space. In 1961, Breitling helped one of the original Mercury space program astronauts to better keep time with a 24-hour system. Scott Carpenter wore his 24-hour Navitimer into space on his mission, and these navigational Breitling watches are still used today. Whether you're in space, in the air or on the ground, the Navitimer's mechanical chronograph will help you to keep the most accurate time.

Fashion That Faces Forward
