Breitling Premier Heritage B09 Chronograph 40 Watch
Taking inspiration from Breitling’s three leading founders, Leon Breitling, his son Gaston and his grandson Willy, the Breitling Premier Heritage watch collection revives their proud traditions with chronograph complication. Leading the line-up is this Breitling Premier Heritage B09 Chronograph 40 watch engineered from breathtaking 18 carat rose gold. The case measures to 40mm in diameter and presents sapphire crystal glass, a 100 metre water resistant rating and a crisp silver-coloured dial at the centre. To match the case, rose gold hardware delivers hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph seconds and a 30 minute counter, all powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture B09 manual winding calibre with a 70 hour power reserve. The Breitling Premier Heritage Chronograph is completed on a warm brown alligator leather strap.
Breitling Super Chronomat B01 Chronograph 44 Watch
One of the brand’s biggest releases of 2021 was the new Breitling Super Chronomat collection, a series of big and bold sports chronographs inspired by the original Frecce Tricolori watch that Breitling engineered for the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic fleet in 1983. Already a best-seller in the collection is the Breitling Super Chronomat B01 Chronograph featuring a classic black dial and a matching black ceramic insert bezel. Like the original Breitling Chronomats, the bezel features interchangeable tabs at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions and a 60 minute scale. It’s 44mm case secures to the wrist by the iconic Rouleaux bracelet and houses the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 automatic winding movement for powering the column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph with a 12 hour totaliser, 30 minute counter and central chronograph seconds hand.
Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT 43 White Watch
If the man you’re buying for this Christmas is something of an avid globetrotter, then this Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT 43 watch is going to be exactly what he’s hoping to find under the tree on Christmas morning. Delivering a more contemporary take on an aviator’s instrument, the Breitling Aviator GMT is remarkably robust with loud and edgy angles helped by a ratcheted bezel with four rider tabs and unidirectional functionality and a chunky three-link stainless steel bracelet. The 43mm case is also engineered from steel and features a screw down case back, screw in crown with two gaskets assisting in an impressive water resistance of 300 metres. Housed beneath cambered sapphire crystal glass is a fresh white dial with blackened hands and a bold red GMT hand finished in glow in the dark Superluminova. The second time zone complication is powered by the Breitling 32 automatic calibre with a 42 hour power reserve, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and 21 jewels.
Breitling Navitimer Automatic 35 Mother Of Pearl Diamonds Watch
An obvious choice for women this Christmas is the Breitling Navitimer 35 watch collection. The Navitimer is arguably one of the brand’s most successful designs, first released in 1952 as a revolutionary chronograph for every passenger of the cockpit thanks to its innovative slide rule function. This Breitling Navitimer 35 Automatic Mother of Pearl Diamond watch is one of the first lady’s Navitimer’s to exist, offering the same high precision automatic movements and durable cases as the men’s counterparts but with a feminine white mother of pearl centrepiece adorned with dazzling diamond dot indices. The case also evokes elegance with a 35mm steel core detailed with an 18ct rose gold beaded bezel and a matching two-toned fine link bracelet.
Breitling Professional Endurance Pro Blue Watch
For the athlete in need of a high precision, high performance sports watch, look no further than the Breitling Professional Endurance Pro Blue. It’s 44mm case is remarkably light crafted from the brand’s famous Breitlight material, a material known for being 3.3 times light than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel. It is also nonmagnetic, thermally stable, hypoallergenic and totally scratch proof. Hidden within the Breitlight case is another of the brand’s greatest innovations, their Calibre 82 SuperQuartz movement which delivers exceptional precision with a COSC certification of -4 to +6 seconds per day. At the centre, the black dial is detailed with handsome navy blue accents including a steeply sloped pulsometer chapter ring, a red chronograph seconds hand and Superluminova hardware. The watch is completed on a dark blue rubber strap embossed with the Breitling logo.
