Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution
A great Classic revisited
Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution // Caliber: Breitling 13 // Vibrations per hour: 28,800 // Jewels: 25
The Chronomat evolution is the new version of the Breitling leader model. This indepth restyling represented a major challenge for the brand designersm resulting in a larger, more commanding Chronomat that is more opulent than ever and equally sophisticated. It features subtly balanced proportions and a beautiful play on curves, enhanced by extremly meticulous finishing details. The dial is finely crafted, guilloché-worked and decorated with hour-markers or Arabic numerals. The crown and pushpieces are protectively imbedded into the edge of the case. The horns dip elegantly towards the wrist to ensure an impeccably ergonomic fit. Beneath its perfect lines, the Chronomat remains a full-fledged "instrument for professionals". A sturdy, precise and functional chronograph. Withstand overpressure of 30 bars, equivalent to 1000 feet (300 m) in depth (gold case water-resistant to 10 bars/100 m). This device also ensures effective protection against shocks. The chronomat Evolution retains the same "motorization": Caliber 13, undoubtedly the most efficient and reliable of all selfwinding chronograph movements.

Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant 1903
100 years of aviation
Breitling Montbrillant 1903 // Caliber: Breitling 35 // Vibrations per hour: 28,800 // Jewels: 38
On December 17th 1903, the historical flight by the Wright brothers marked the birth of aviation, and would change the world forever. To celebrate the hundredth anniversary of this story that is closely entwined with its own, Breitling has chosen to issue the montbrillant 1903 special edition, a chronograph with a style inspired by the finest products made by the brand in the middle of the 20th century. This aesthetic concern is particularly apparent in details such as the beaded bezel, identical to the one used on the first chronographs equipped with the famous circular slide rule. Also designed in a classic mid century style, the two tone dial clearly distinguishes the timekeeping zone from the logarithmic scales. The back of the watch features the silhouette of the Flyer I, the plane flown by orville and Wilbur Wright. Representing another allusion to their historical feat, the Montbrillant 1903 has a 10-minute totalizer and enables measurements precise to the nearest 1/4 of a second of flight. Its highly distinctive brand-exclusive movements also comprises the Flyback function, typical of the finest aviation chronographs.

Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant Datora
The spirit of an era
Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant Datora // Caliber: Breitling 21 // Vibrations per hour: 28,800 // Jewels: 25
Drawing inspiration from a grand era in its history, Breitling has chosen to revive the datora spirit, in tribute to a bestseller from the 1940s. Today as in yesteryear, the distinguishing token of this chronograph lies in its unique way of showing the date. Embodying an authentic demonstration of mechanical ingenuity, its calendar displays both the day and month through side.by-side apertures, while a half moon center pointer indicates the date. This mechanism is smoothly powered by Breitling's new chronometer-certified Caliber 21. Montbrillian Datoraa features many other functions. In addition to the indispensable slide rule, tachometer or 1/100th of an hour indication, a second display shows 24-hour or "military" time. The timezones of the world's major cities are engraved on the caseback.

Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant
The original instrument
Breitling Montbrillant // Caliber: Breitling 41 // Vibrations per hour: 28,800 // Jewels: 38
In Breitling's corporate memory, the name Montrbrillant brings to mind a very special time and place: the dats of its first full-fledged chronograph factory, perched on a sun-drenched hillside overlocking the town of La Chaux de Fonds. It was here that the Breitling family's finest developments were born: the second, return to zero pushpiece, the most important of all and, in 1942, the circular slide rule, the most famous. The Monstrillant spirit lives on today in a line of outstanding mechanical chronographs that reflect both the styling and the manufacturing techniques of the period. From its convex crystal and dial made in the traditional manner to its classic circular slide rule, a half-century has turned the Montbrillant into a true signature product.

Breitling Cosmonaute
The Navitimer Made for Space
Breitling Cosmonaute // Caliber: Breitling 22 // Vibrations per hour: 28,800 // Jewels: 38
This ultra special version of the Navitimer was made to equip the very first space exploration missions. It made its first flight on May 24th 1962, strapped to the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter during, the orbital flight of the Aurora 7 capsule. The special feature of this model lies in the fact that all 24 hours in a day can be read off around a single circular sweep of the dial, thereby enabling one to differentiate between day and night, since this notion no longer exists in space. The Cosmonaute also offers a Flyback mechanism, an additional function allowing successive timing operations with no need to stop, return to zero and then restart the chronograph.
