The name Breitling comes with an impressive historical reputation as one of the leading companies in the original development of the wrist chronograph. The sheer sophistication of every classic Breitling model is what has enabled the company to sustain world wide popularity for so many years and since 1884 Breitling has played a significant role in the proud partnership between watch making and aviation. Although Breitling has created many unique timepieces the aviation theme is prominent throughout their entire library of creativity.
The very exclusive new limited edition Breitling
The Breitling Limited Edition Blackbird watch, taking its inspiration from the name, displays a jet black dial. The timepiece exudes mystery and character, an ideal wristwatch for those who prefer a more striking design. The limited edition model features red accents which accentuate the sporting nature of the piece. The totalizer rims, the central chronograph’s second hand and the tachometric scale on the inner bezel are all red, as is the outsized calendar display at 12 o’clock with two separate indicators for the tens and units. The Blackbird’s ingenious design combines legibility with originality, a watch built specifically for those determined to make a powerful statement with their timepiece. Water-resistant to 300 meters, this chronograph endowed with a steely character is powered by Breitling Caliber 44, a self-winding chronograph movement. With only two-thousand models made, the Blackbird Red strike is most definitely a watch which denotes exclusivity.
As the pioneers of aviation timepieces, Breitling's pocket chronographs, and later its wrist chronographs, built a famous reputation for precision and sturdiness. Each of Breitling’s watches are enriched with outstanding quality; an indispensable instrument to any triumphant pilot. Breitling is a long-lasting family business, and it is one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands in the world, a true indication of their phenomenal success.
