Breitling

History
Breitling, an institution that stands for the ultimate technical precision, has been known as a symbol of fliers ever since its inception, in 1884. The aviation boom in the 20th century paved the way for the success of the brand, which is now synonymous with objects of precision and durability. The brand was founded by Leon Breitling, and took the market by storm with the invention of the Navimeter. Defining and redefining its initial aesthetic, is the brand, which has produced watches of such exemplary innovation and precision, which have adorned the wrists of eminent personalities such as that of the fictional character James Bond, in Thunderball in 1965. Born from the encounter of car making, and watch making, the Breitling for Bentley collection, ‘asserted a new art of living.’

Design
The Breitling AB012012/BB02/436X/A20D.1 is an addition to the Navimeter collection. Circular in shape, the steel case measures 43mm in diameter and 14 mm in thickness. The black dial, incorporating three luminous silver sub dials, gives the watch a cutting edge design. Applied Arabic numerals mark the path for the luminescent silver hands.
A black leather strap incorporates decorative stitching, and the folding clasp includes the manufacturer’s logo.

Features
The watch functions date, hour, minute and seconds functions. Date display is adjusted between 5 and 6 o’ clock. Housing an automatic movement with Breitling caliber 01, with a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the watch exemplifies technical precision. The domed sapphire crystal is scratch resistant, and the watch consists of a screwed crown with the unique logo of Breitling. A 70 hour power reserve allows you to stay away the watch for a considerable period of time, without disrupting the movement of the watch. The watch is also water resistant to a depth of 30m, rendering the watch durable in the long run.
