The Watch

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance, and functionality. The Colt model was released in 1980 initially for armed forces like the Navitimer and Chronomat. Due to popular demand, it soon established itself as one of its best sellers.

Our Breitling Colt Ocean has a 39mm polished tonneau case. Curved stubby lugs and a thickness of 12mm ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist. On the right side, a protected screw-down signed crown. A unidirectional 60-minute bezel has screw’s around its edge to give you some surface to grip. Deep engraving and raised 15, 30 and 45-minute sections make this undoubtedly a Breitling Colt. Its flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal AR coated is recessed adding some protection against knocks. A blue textured dial with an outer minute track. Applied baton and numeral indexes with lume plots add depth to the dial. At 3 o’clock a date window. SuperLumiNova coated sword hands with a tapered center seconds hand. Applied Breitling wings at 12 with text precisely executed. On the reverse, polished stainless steel screw-down case back, deep engraving stating its Chronometre credentials. Inside an Automatic Breitling Movement Cal. B17 based on the ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour.

Comes with a complete box and papers signed in 2002.

Personal Note

Blue is certainly the hype at the moment, which is why I adore this watch as its a great alternative to the usual suspects and is a fraction of the price! Then when you consider the size, it actually wears smaller than the 39mm case size would have you believe, so it's perfect for those with smaller wrists too! A great all-around watch for a very fair price.
