Breitling has made its name largely through its exceptional catalogue of gents watches, but this week’s ladies watch is fully capable of standing tall alongside any of the completion. The Galactic 36 Automatic has been specifically created for women who wish to enjoy a flawless combination of aesthetic luxury and uncompromising technological expertise, and this new timepiece represents an outstanding example of horological creation.
The case diameter is a generous 36 mm in size, but these increased dimensions in no way impede upon the Galactic 36 Automatic’s undeniable sense of elegance as it sits upon your wrist. The timepiece is 12.3 mm thick and weighs 65 g (2.3 oz), however far from detracting from the sense of grace, the larger size simply makes it more readily apparent. A variety of sumptuous case styles are available to choose from, with an all steel look, a rose gold, and even a opulent combination of the two making up the full assortment of preferences. The crown of the watch is non screw locked with two highly practical gaskets, whilst the back is firmly screwed on for maximum security.
Within the case, a fully chronometer-certified self-winding Breitling B 37 mechanical movement is housed. Based on the ETA 2895-2, it functions according to a frequency of 4 Hz, and upholds the highest standards of user friendliness with a power reserve of at least 42 hours. Each Breitling Galactic 36 Automatic watch is water resistant up to 100m (the equivalent of 330 feet), meaning that the delicate interior of the case is securely protected from any mishaps.
The bezel of the watch is both ratcheted and suitable for unidirectional rotation. The dial of the Galactic 36 Automatic is an example of truly exquisite craftsmanship, and just like the case it comes in a variety of designs. A wide range of colours are presented to suit any taste, including copperhead bronze, Stratus silver and Gun blue.  Mother-of-pearl versions are also on offer, with the models that complement this with some playful diamond embellishments proffering a particularly strong sparkle of glamour. A small second counter is the predominant feature upon the dial of this timepiece, and its place within a central square gives the watch a classy flourish of layered texture.
Each watch enjoys luminous hand details and a date aperture that is set into the anti-reflective cambered sapphire glass face, and the versions with a diamond enhanced bezel also display an additional scatter of eight diamonds that serve as hour markers. The Galactic 36 Automatic is adorned with a Pilot type (5 rows) metal bracelet of time-honoured steel, lavish gold or a striking combination of the two. Alternatively an option to pair the watch with a tasteful leather and lizard skin strap exists.  This strap is accessible in a host of different colours, and all are expertly designed to withstand all the rigors of daily use.
