Designer Spotlight on Breitling

May 23rd, 2021

Embrace a legacy of excellence in craftsmanship and mechanical precision when you don a classic Breitling timepiece. Over 130 years of innovation in watch-making has propelled Breitling to the highest strata of luxury designers.

Breitling’s chronographs for men and women double as a statement of sophistication and utility. Made for active fashionistas with a refined sense of taste, Breitling’s collections cater to nearly every style, personality, and wardrobe.

Breitling: A Legacy of Innovation and Precision

Breitling’s roots can be traced back to 1884 when Léon Breitling embarked on a journey to create timepieces that were elegant, reliable, and stylish. Breitling’s original pocket watches became an instant success. The next challenge? Chronographs.

In 1889, Breitling designed a pared-down chronograph model featuring a striking design and easy-to-maintain mechanism.

Gaston, Léon’s son, took the reins in 1914 and displayed the same fervor and passion for innovation as his father. In 1915, he launched one of the world's first wrist chronographs with a separate push-piece above the crown.

Breitling’s early innovations set a precedent for technical marvels to come during the entire 20th century. Today, the brand stands proud as a designer with a rich history and knack for creating luxury timepieces that drive us into the future.

This original pilot’s chronograph is teeming with functionality, capable of calculating speed, fuel consumption, distance, and so much more.

Reach for the stars with the Navitimer Chronograph 41 which captures the essence of the original Navitimer on a smaller scale. Choose black, blue, or silver dials with multi-tone counters for a pop of color. Its signature circular slide rule meets the rigorous demands of flying high in the sky.
