Breitling Watches: An Obsession with Quality

Professionals for whom extreme precision matters turn to Breitling for a timepiece they can depend on. Throughout the entire process of manufacturing, the watches Breitling produces adhere to three parameters: functionality, sturdiness, and precision.

Among the most functional watches in the world, Breitling reinforces superior readability with oversized hands and glare-proof glass. Busy professionals need a high level of functions, but they need easy and fast access to those functions-and so the functionality offered by Breitling also focuses on user friendliness, and standard handling. Several functions can be accessed through the crown alone, making use of the Breitling watch superbly simple yet incredibly powerful.

The Breitling can stand up to incredible pressure and shock, with sturdiness that is second to none. The watch case delivers incredible protection against shock, and all of the materials are corrosion-resistant. The case also can withstand extremely high pressures; for example, the Avenger case can withstand up to 35 tons. The design of every timepiece pays special attention to all of the exposed parts, including the crown and push pieces, which are water resistant.

COSC Certified

Every movement of Breitling watches [http://www.tic-tock.com/] are tested and certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). Only watches that have been certified by COSC can legitimately call themselves “chronometers”. As part of the testing process, every single movement is tested individually over a period of fifteen days and in multiple positions and different temperatures. Remarkably, only about five percent of Swiss watches earn the chronometer certification from COSC.

Earning this coveted certification requires strict attention to the highest quality, and use of the best components in the world.

Obsession with Quality

Throughout its long history, Breitling has been obsessed with quality, making it one of the most sought-after Swiss watches ever made. As part of this obsession, Breitling’s designers sought out an alternative to quartz. The quartz crystal came to be used in horology in the 1970s to deliver greater accuracy. Not satisfied with that, breitling developed “superquartz”, which yields an accuracy rate ten times greater than that of standard quartz, with variation reduced to 15 seconds per year.

Bold Design

Breitling is famous for its bold design as well as its extreme functionality. The Breitling Navitimer has gotten a loyal following among aviators thanks to its built-in circular slide rule. The Navitimer Cosmonaute features 24-hour time divisions and an innovative Flyback feature that allows successive timing operations to take place without the need to stop and reset the chronograph to zero. And with a Breitling, a chronometer can be feminine as well. The Starliner models combine high levels of functionality with style and beauty, featuring soft contours and diamond highlights.

The Breitling Bentley collection exhibit exceptional aesthetics and incorporate the stylistic “Flying B” Bentley logo, and the unique variable tachometer feature that measures average speed, distance covered and speed reached.
