Introducing Breitling Watches New Website
I ran into a pleasant surprise today, Breitling has a new website, totally redesigned from yesterday. Here are a few features that I like: 1. The Landing Page Breitling new website’s landing page includes some links that were kind of hidden on the old site. In the top right corner you can quickly change the site language. In the top left corner there are quick links to Models, Retailers, Air Time, Technology, History, and Breitling For Bentley collection. At the bottom right corner the choices include Portfolio, Breitling World Time (more about this tomorrow), News, Contact, and the Breitling Copyright information. 2. Breitling Watch Model Display On the old website the Breitling Models were displayed in the bottom and sometimes froze up and took up screen...
The Breitling Chronomat Watch
The Breitling Chronomat is considered a “leader model” by Breitling. Of course, Breitling enthusiast would argue and say the leader model should be the Navitimer, however by “leader model” I think Breitling means a model that is used to base its designs off of. Maybe every watch in Breitling’s collections started off as a Breitling Chronomat watch? It’s been given the nickname “The Reference” by Breitling and its design hints that historically it has a great significance to the brand. The Breitling Chronomat was originally created for the Frecce Tricolori Flight Team and just like aviation, has evolved and changed over the years. The heart of the watch is the Breitling Caliber 13, an accurate selfwinding chronograph. Other technical specifications...
The Bentley Continental GT Has a Breitling Clock
We all want a Bentley Continental GT, the wood grain, the smell, the paint, the Bentley symbol on front, the rearview mirror, the back left tire, the license plate, the door handle… well you get what time it is. Speaking of time, did you know that the Bentley Continental GT has a Breitling clock in it? We all know Breitling and Bentley forged a very lucrative collaboration, and now they have taken it even a step further. The difference between this clock and other Bentley car clocks is the new logo which is applied to the clock in gold with silver plated hands. The clock is missing one thing though, a second hand, but who needs them anyway in a car. With the greatest luxury being time, if you are in a Bentley I doubt you’d be counting seconds.
Breitling Montbrillant Olympus
The Montbrilliant Olympus Breitling Watch towers above other watches like Zeus. It’s made of the finest products and made by arguably the best brand of watches in history. Just look around the watch face, the beaded bezel adds a hard elegance that would be hard to duplicate. The caliber on this Breitling watch, the Montbrilliant Olympus, is a Breitling Caliber 19 and is complex with 250 components enabling it to measure short times as well as date, day, month, and even moon phases. The Breitling Caliber 19 is so advanced in this Breitling Watch, the Montbrilliant Olympus, that you don’t even have to adjust it for the leap year, it does it by itself. So what other features can you expect from this Breitling watch? Many features including a self-winding...

Breitling For Bentley Flying B Diamond Watches
Today I ran across two beautiful Breitling for Bentley Flying B diamond watches. The Breitling for Bentley’s Flying B watch is dedicated to the “winged B”, the mascot for British cars. All watches in the collection have a rectangular case and sophisticated design with an original display mode. Luxury is the main component of these two Breitling watches as the hour markers are sculpted from mother of pearl. These two watches have been crafted in a red gold and white gold series with the best materials the watch industry has to offer. Both of these Breitling For Bentley Flying B watches have beveled sapphire crystal glareproofed sides and a chronometer certified by the COSC. The casebacks each have the legendary Bentley “Flying B” engraved on them. Each is...
Breitling Space Going Navitimer Watch
To infinity and beyond! At least that was the idea behind the Navitimer Cosmonaute, Breitling’s official space-going Navitimer. The Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute (get it, like astronaut) was created in the days of early space exploration, those days when going to space and getting there first were the only things that mattered. So what is the difference between a Breitling Navitimer watch and a Breitling Cosmonaute watch? First the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute has a Flyback mechanism which allows continuous timing with no need to stop; it starts over all by itself. The Breitling Cosmonaute has 24 hour dial division since night and day mean nothing out in space; that way an astronaut won’t be confused between noon and midnight. Speaking of astronaut, the...

How To Spot A Fake Breitling
In the 1980’s very good replicas and fake Breitling watches began to make their way into the market. Most of them were the Breitling Aviator and Sports divers watch, Crosswind, Navitimer, and Fighter. Unfortunately for consumers, buying a real Breitling watch can be disastrous because the fakes are actually really good. One of the best ways to spot a fake is to look at the logo. If the logo is printed, most likely it is not a real Breitling watch. However, if the logo is embossed you are one step closer to the genuine thing. Looking at the logo is only one way to spot a fake Breitling. If a Breitling is genuine the window for the date is large and will overlap into the second and the minute hands. Additionally, a genuine Breitling’s dial will always...
