The Watch

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains. In 1915 Gaston Breitling introduced a pusher at 2 o’clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph. Leon later moved the reset to a pusher at 4 o’clock. During 1939 Breitling shipped a huge quantity of chronographs to the Royal Air Force. They introduced the “Navitimer” a navigation computer in 1952 used to calculate a flight plan. In 1969 they introduced a self-winding chronograph movement. 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.
