BREITLING
Getting into the watch manufacturing business in the mid-1880s was no easy feat. Switzerland was experiencing the worst part of a long recession. Yet, despite the economic difficulty, social unrest and uncertainty about the future, 24-year-old Léon Breitling stayed true to his vision of creating instruments that could measure, divide and master time.
This is how the Breitling brand was born. With passion and enthusiasm, our inventive founder created the useful, functional, reliable and sturdy timepieces we’ve come to know and love today.
Collection Family
Chronomat
Breitling’s all-purpose watch for your every pursuit, at home both on the red carpet and at the beach. Introduced in 1984, the Chronomat celebrated Breitling’s centenary in style and marked the return of the mechanical chronograph. Nearly forty years later, the Chronomat still represents purpose, action and style.
Superocean
Breitling’s Superocean is technical, durable and comes in a range of fun colors. Dive with it, surf with it, swim with it, hit the beach bar with it.
Navitimer
For 70 years, the Breitling Navitimer has been one of the world’s most beloved mechanical chronographs. The Navitimer family introduces a watchmaking legend to a whole new generation.
Classic AVI
Directly inspired by the design codes of the Ref. 765 AVI Co-pilot, the Classic AVI collection embodies Breitling’s earlier ties with aviation, evoking the cockpit clocks made by its Huit Aviation department in the 1930s. The Classic AVI pays homage to its unique heritage with a highly legible dial and rugged case. Today, the collection celebrates the pioneering spirit of early pilots and four legendary planes: the Curtiss P40 Warhawk, the de Havilland Mosquito, the Vought F4U Corsair, and the North American P-51 Mustang.
Professional
One of Breitling’s earliest and most enduring mottos was “Instruments for Professionals” and the words are as relevant today as ever. The watches in the Professional family are equipped with features that make them perfect partners for every adventurer.
Superocean Heritage
The updated, upgraded Superocean Heritage line celebrates a more-than-60-year legacy of great Breitling dive watches. With a reinvigorated design, it blends timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
AVENGER
Power in action. The Breitling Avenger is a study in superlatives: unparalleled safety and reliability; extreme robustness and shock resistance; maximum functionality; incredible readability. It’s ready when you are!
TOP TIME
After its release in the 1960's, the Top Time quickly became a symbol of self-expression for a dynamic generation thanks to its elegant and unconventional dial design. The Top Time was never about keeping time but expanding it, exploring the world in your way, at your own pace.
PREMIER
In the 1940s, Breitling launched the original Premiers, watches dedicated to everyday elegance. Now, the new Premier collection introduces models whose elegance is worthy of their historic name and whose quality, performance, and design DNA are pure Breitling!
