Renowned as one of the world’s leading specialists of technical watches, Breitling has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph over the years and is a leader in this complication. As official stockists, we carry an impressive selection of Breitling watches from their most prestigious collections, including the Navitimer, Chronomat and Avenger.
Since Breitling’s formation in 1884 in Saint-Imier, the brand has deservedly and consistently been at the forefront of wrist chronographs. This innovative family business is one of the last Swiss watch brands to remain independent and, most impressively, they are the only watch brand in the world that equips all of their models with chronometer-certified movements. Not only this, but the movements seen in Breitling watches are entirely developed and manufactured in their very own workshops.
In the 1940s, Breitling added a circular slide rule to the bezel of their chronograph models which were in use by aircraft pilots. In time, this would become the popular Navitimer model, a timepiece that has been favoured by pilots across the globe over the years. In the 1950s and 60s, a version of the Navitimer was the timepiece of choice for pilots, with the brand’s watches and timers being used in the cockpits of commercial airlines around the world.
Closely associated with the aviation industry, Breitling ensured that their name became synonymous with accuracy, precision and durability. These qualities are inherent to the Breitling Navitimer collection, one of the most acclaimed ranges of Breitling’s men’s watches.
Their dedication to precision, durability and reliable high-performance has secured their status as a true specialist of technical watches. Not only are they a leader in the chronograph complications, they’ve also been heavily involved and relied upon in a number of sky-high conquests. It is the combination of technical skill, expertise and infinite precision presented with sleek and alluring aesthetics that has led them to become official timekeepers to world aviation. You are always sure to invest in a piece that can be truly treasured.

At Banks Lyon, we are proud to be official stockists of Breitling watches. Because of this, we are not only able to provide our customers with the peace of mind that their timepiece is 100% authentic but that it has a manufacturer’s warranty, too. All watches purchased from Breitling or one of its official stockists are covered by a 2-year international warranty. However, if you opt for a Breitling watch with a mechanical movement manufactured by the brand, you are covered for 5 years, provided that you get it tested by an authorised dealer every two years for water resistance. Please note that this only applies to Breitling-manufactured mechanical movements, as some pieces in the collection still use modified third-party movement.
The 5-year warranty (for Breitling manufactured movements) covers a range of manufacturing defects but does not cover theft and loss, results from mistreatment, and wear and tear from normal use, amongst other factors. You should check Breitling’s International Warranty Guide for a complete list to find out whether you are covered or contact us as official stockists of the brand to get the answers you need.
You will also be pleased to know that purchasing an extension for your warranty is also an option, and registering to do so is quick, simple, and will not take up too much of your time. It is a great choice for those who want a little extra protection or peace of mind. For watches with a Breitling manufacture movement, you can extend your warranty for an additional three years. For all other watches (those that have a modified third-party movement), you can extend your warranty for an additional two years.
If you require more information or would like assistance extending your warranty, our team is more than happy to help. As official stockists of Breitling watches, we are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to help you get the most out of your timepiece and the services the brand provides.
Purchasing a Breitling watch from an official stockist is the best way to ensure 100% authenticity of your timepiece. As authorised retailers of this brand, we work closely with them, giving you the peace of mind that your watch is authentic and comes with its unique identification number (serial number). This is the code used to verify authenticity.
We always recommend purchasing a Breitling watch from official stockists such as ourselves because, as well as the knowledge that your watch is authentic, you also get to benefit from the additional services of both Banks Lyon and Breitling. For example, as mentioned, we can help you extend your warranty and service and repair your Breitling timepiece. In addition, our team has invaluable knowledge and experience with Breitling, which puts us in a unique position to offer the best customer service and support.
In short, yes. At Banks Lyon, we offer Breitling watches with 0% finance, which gives you the freedom to pay for your timepiece in monthly instalments. Our flexible and straightforward approach means you can spread the cost of some Breitling watches from six months all the way up to five years. Many customers prefer this option as it means they can start wearing and enjoying their timepieces right away, even if they do not have the funds available to pay for the entire cost upfront.
Our financing options are easy to follow and easy to use due to our finance calculator. Simply select the duration for which you wish to spread the cost, choose your deposit amount (from 10% to 50%), and discover what your monthly instalments will be.
Please note that financing a Breitling timepiece is subject to status and is only available for watches between £500 and £20,000. You must read the financing descriptions on the product page of your chosen timepiece to find out what is available.
There are many factors to consider before choosing which Breitling timepiece is the best choice for you. One of these considerations is whether a chronograph or a chronometer would suit your lifestyle and personal style more. To help you decide, we first need to look into what the difference is.
A Breitling chronometer has a movement that requires thorough testing and certifications. For instance, it goes through various precise tests in different positions and temperatures over 15 days, which helps the watchmakers ensure it remains accurate even in the toughest conditions. At the end of the testing, it will obtain a certification from the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
A Breitling chronograph is a timepiece that comes with a stopwatch function. This allows the wearer to measure time accurately and would be most suited for those using their watch for sports or other events that require accurate timekeeping.
Yes, Breitling introduced their own in-house movement in 2009, becoming one of the only independent watchmakers to do so. Named the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, it was designed with the knowledge and expertise of over 100 years in watchmaking and contains up to 346 components. It quickly became a popular choice for watch enthusiasts because of its incredible functionality, beautifully intricate aesthetics, and the fact it can be easily serviced. Now, Breitling has a wide range of in-house movements, each curated in the Breitling Chronometrie, located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, which is where Léon Breitling opened his first factory.
Each of Breitling’s calibers goes through thorough testing and quality control, such as the COSC certification, which takes 1000 tests over a 10-month period. It is because of this that you can put your trust into your Breitling watch and guarantee that it is accurate and can endure exceptionally harsh environments.
