Breitling may be world-famous for their luxurious watches, but it’s certainly fair to say that they have a few more strings to their bow – one of the most exciting of which is arguably their jet team, a slick fleet of seven L-39 C Albatros which boasts the label of the biggest professional civilian flight team (performing in jets) in the world.
The exceptional team of pilots perform world-class displays, with breathtaking speeds of up to 565 mph and daring manoeuvres through the sky. If you haven’t been lucky enough to see them in action then we would highly recommend taking a few moments to watch their most recent official video, giving you the opportunity to soak up their sublime talents for yourself.
In the past fortnight, the Breitling Jet Team has had a lot of well-deserved press coverage following their appearance at the Seattle Boeing Seafair Airshow. The Breitling Jet Team works in conjunction with Bentley, who were also present as together the two companies unveiled the Bentley Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series. Seven bespoke motor vehicles and seven exquisite, exclusive Chronomat 44 Breitling Jet Team Limited Edition timepieces were presented to their new owners, who were then taken soaring through the sky by Breitling’s seven expert pilots.
These are certainly some incredible vehicles, but if you have the same passion for chronographs that we do then you’re probably waiting to hear a little more about the watch itself. Well, the Chronomat 44 Breitling Jet Team watches have a number of features designed to reflect the brilliant team that they’re named for: the Breitling Jet Team logo is proudly displayed on the dial, while features such as the hands are highlighted in yellow, the team’s signature colour.
Offset against deep, onyx black, these yellow accents make for a stylish addition to the wrists of those who have been fortunate enough to secure ownership of one, a colour scheme which is matched in the Bentley vehicles themselves, drawing attention to the partnership between Breitling and Bentley – a partnership which has seen Breitling contribute their design expertise for the making of technical devices within some Bentley cars.

If you would like to sample some of Breitling’s impeccable style for yourself, then you might appreciate some of the many Chronomat 44 watches which we currently have available here at Banks Lyon. This includes last year’s Chronomat 44 Airborne watch, which features a classic and sophisticated stainless steel case with a resilient, military style fabric strap. The unusual colouring of this watch – a sierra-silver dial and cream face, with luminous indices – adds to its unique charm.
This watch is available from Banks Lyon for £6,000.00, or on a 36 month 0% finance plan at a rate of £133.00 per month.
