Swiss manufacturer Breitling was founded in the Swiss Jura in 1884 by Léon Breitling, a man dedicated to crafting precision chronographs and timers. Today, Breitling remains a leader in creating sturdy, reliable, and high-performance instruments that are especially beloved by those involved in air/water sports and commercial aviation. In addition to their own celebrated movements, in 2017 Breitling began coproduction of movements with the Rolex-owned brand Tudor.

This Breitling Colt delivers a moderate case size, refined sporty appearance, and it will make an excellent addition to your collection. First, as a certified chronometer, you can depend on stellar accuracy. Next, with its substantial 200 m / 20 atm water resistance level, you can count on this watch to see you through your next water adventure.

The stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, 11.25 mm in height and rests upon a black rubber strap with an adjustable stainless steel deployant clasp buckle. It possesses a solid case back, a screw-down winding crown located between two horns for additional protection, and sports a unidirectionally rotating stainless steel bezel with markers at 15, 30, and 45 minutes.

Other attractive features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a lovely tempest grey dial with contrasting minute track, and a red-tipped center seconds hand. Look for a date window conveniently positioned at 3 o’clock, and luminous silver-toned hands that are easy to spot in low-light situations as well as under water.
