The Breitling Colt is a genuinely classic name within the world of luxury Swiss horology, and over the years this popular family has earned a legion of ardent admirers. Named after the iconic handgun, and drawing inspiration from this legendary source to form the aesthetics of each timepiece bezel, the Colt collection has been substantially re-imagined in recent years, resulting in a modern and contemporary assemblage that exudes the same timeless style of yesteryear.
Carved from steel, the rebuilt Colt range embodies the principles of reliability and supreme performance. As mentioned, the original visual themes of the Colt are still inherently visible, but there are many freshly implemented additions as well. For example, the sporty and solid construction has enabled robust water resistances in excess of 300 metres to be omnipresent, whilst the dials include intriguingly rounded numerals; a decision that has become somewhat of a signature statement of this collection. Several distinct variants of the Breitling Colt are in production, with the choices below representing a brief overview of some of our favourites.
Breitling Colt Automatic 44mm
Understated and efficient to the extreme, this Breitling Colt Automatic was originally and unashamedly intended for armed forces usage, but this stand-out and rugged range is coveted by a far wider audience than just that. This model houses a chronometer certified automatic movement – the Breitling Caliber 17 – and the instantly recognisable Colt dial is imbued with added depth by way of an elevated motif. The Colt Automatic includes a screw-locked and reinforced crown for extra durability, and is undeniably designed to excel in terms of both form and function. The Breitling Colt Automatic 44mm watch is priced at £2,260, but is also obtainable on 0% finance for 36 monthly payments of £50.22 and a 20% deposit.
Breitling Colt 44
Measuring in at 44mm in diameter, this Colt 44 is equipped with the best electronic technology that Breitling can muster. The SuperQuartz™ movement is more than 10 times the match of a standard quartz mechanism, and Breitling proudly boast that the battery life will last an astonishing 8 years. In terms of style, this stainless steel timepiece is highly attractive in an eminently youthful fashion, and the dial is rendered all the more clear by way of tried-and-tested SuperLuminova detailing upon a sleek black backdrop. Retailing at £2,280, the Breitling Colt 44 is also on offer for 36 monthly payments of £50.67 alongside a 20% deposit.
Breitling Colt 33
We conclude with a ladies’ timepiece, and this Breitling Colt 33 is the ideal wristwatch for a lady who wishes to procure an ultra-sporty yet still resolutely feminine watch. As you might have gleaned from the Colt 33 moniker, the diameter of this wristwatch is a petit 33mm, whilst the alternately polished and satin-brushed finishes ensure an extremely refined aesthetic. With a precision SuperQuartz™ movement to secure longevity, this timepiece also leads the way for ladies’ wristwatches with a water resistance of 500 metres, so it really is something special. The Breitling Colt 33 watch is available for £2,220, or for 36 monthly payments of £49.33 and a 20% deposit.
