In response to the lasting success of their Transocean Chronograph, this year at baselworld, Breitling chose to show us their newest model in the Transocean chronograph range, the Breitling Transocean Unitime.
The Unitime is another in the range of Breitling watches that accommodates for those who travel all over the world and will need to adjust their watch to display different time zones. The Unitime operates with two rotating discs which allow the wearer to use the crown to adjust one of the 24 different timezones without interrupting the chronograph or the time.
The watch is a stylish three button chronograph from the brand that first introduced them. The case size is 46mm and this is a watch that does not wast space as it fits 3 dials, a date window, the names of 24 famous cities from different timezones and of course the Breitling logo all infron of the image of a globe on the face.
The Unitime was one of the major announcements for Breitling at this year’s baselworld. The world time dial allows the user to tell the time in 24 different timezones at any given time, even adjustable for daylight savings. The watch is available in a leather or steel mesh bracelet and has already stirred up a lot of excitement among the Breitling fanbase.
The functionality of this style of watch have made them very popular since the 1950s when the Rolex GMT-master was released to help pilots keep track of time for both departure and arrival. Suddenly the must-have item for the modern jet-setting man became the GMT style watch that implied that its owner lead a busy and adventurous lifestyle.
Other popular world travelling models in the Breitling family include the Breitling Navitimer. A flagship model for Breitling in popularity; the world edition is equipped with a red tipped 24 hour hand it allows the user with one look, to tell the time in a different timezone in an instant and even whether it is night of day in that location without having to adjust the hands.
Breitling has always been a proud partner of aviation and their dedication to precision and efficiency when it comes to world travel has made them renowned as the brand of world flight.
