Breitling Watch Information
From LoveToKnow Watches
Breitling watches are made by the esteemed Switzerland-based watch and chronograph company. Breitling has been constructing timepieces for scientific and industrial purposes since 1884. Their timepieces are widely used and are a trusted force in the aeronautical industry and the American Armed Forces.
Popular Models
Breitling has four highly popular models to select from, all of which have different styles of timepieces available
- Breitling Navitimer
This Breitling model was developed in 1952 and over the years has become a consistent favorite with pilots. It measures short times and is equipped with a “navigation computer,” which is a circular slide rule that handles airborne navigation calculations such as climbing times and fuel consumption rates. It also has the ability to convert miles into nautical miles or kilometers. This model officially represents the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which has members from the piloting community based all over the world. The model has also lent its name to a line of original mechanical chronographs, all of which are fitted with the Navitimer’s slide rule. The different styles available are the classic Navitimer, plus the Navitimer 1952 special, the 1952 Qp, the Chrono-matic, the Heritage, the Navitimer Breitling Fighters, the Olympus, the Cosmonaute, the Montbrilliant, the Montbrilliant Datora, and the Montbrilliant 1903.
- Breitling Windrider
The styles in the Windrider collection have all inherited their styling from the highly popular Breitling Chronomat. This self-winding chronograph was developed in conjunction with the Frecce Tricolori, which is the elite flight team of the Italian Air Force. Different styles available in this line include the Wings Automatic, the Crosswind, Crosswind Racing, Crosswind Special, Headwind, Callisto, Callistino, Blackbird, and the B-Class.
- Breitling Professional
This line of Breitling chronographs is tailored to those working in the aviation profession. The different styles available include the Emergency, which has a built-in micro transmitter that broadcasts on 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency. Other Professional styles available include the Aerospace, the B-1 and B-2’s, and the Hercules.
- Breitling Aeromarine
The model meets Breitling’s strict standards for durability on land, at sea, or in the air. Styles within this model are endowed with “a resolutely sporty vocation,” and include the Super Avenger, Chrono Avenger, Chrono Avenger M1, Avenger Seawolf, Chrono Superocean, Superocean, Chrono Colt Quartz, Colt Automatic, Colt Quartz, and Colt Oceane.
Why Breitling Watches are Special
Breitling timepieces are world-renowned for many reasons. The company offers chronometer-certified movements on all models. Breitling cases are distinguished by their “technical complexity, high-end aesthetic appeal, and the quality of their finish.” They are designed to stand up to intensive use. Breitling dials are “designed for optimal read-off at a glance, like an instrument panel.” The crystals in Breitling watches and chronographs are all equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire that is glare-proof on both sides.

Hi Dominick,
Can you provide more information on the model watch you're considering? We can help you more if we know exactly which watch you're looking into. Thanks!

Every watch demands a different price, but you may want to check out some of the pricing on Breitling watches at Amazon.com. It almost seems like you could get a brand new watch for that cost. Perhaps the watch is a limited edition?
