After several weeks of teasers posted on its official social media channels, Breitling has at last launched the new Breitling Navitimer 8 collection with a variety of models. Todays Navitimer 8 collection is a nod to that extensive heritage as well as all that the Navitimer is loved for like its reliable movements and masculine case-while the busy dials appear to have taken a lesser rol [...]

Breitling is known for large case sizes, all watches being COSC-certified, and recently poaching Georges Kern from Richemont. Their recently announced limited-edition version of the Breitling Chronoliner B04 watch with a red gold case fits right in with the blingier, showier side of Breitling. With chronograph and GMT complications, the B04 is touted by Breitling as the fl [...]

Do not unscrew the antenna cap. We repeat, do not unscrew the antenna cap unless it is actually an emergency. This was more or less the message that Breitling kept telling me when I was reviewing the Breitling Emergency II watch a few months ago. If you know anything about what Breitlings iconic Emergency watch does, then the reason for their caution shouldnt be difficult t [...]

Breitling as a brand is perhaps best known for their big, masculine chronographs in aviation and diving styles, and no watch exemplifies manliness quite like the Super Avenger. At 48mm, this is one of Breitlings larger timepieces, eclipsed only by the Emergency. Limited editions of the Super Avenger have been made previously, such as the military 24-hour [...]

The latest from Breitling for Bentley takes a little swerve from the typical models coming out of the collection. The Breitling Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition releases on the heels of the 2018 Bentley Continental GT unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year and may help scratch the itch of those eagerly waiting for the car to hit the streets [...]

Historically speaking, quartz innovations have long enjoyed a key role in Breitlings range of modern offerings-particularly as a cornerstone of the brands Professional line of aviation-themed watches. Now joining that collection is a brand first: the Chronospace EVO B60, fitted with Breitlings very first in-house manufactured SuperQuartz chronograph movement-a flyback [...]

A funny thing happened while I was in the midst of the drawn out process of reviewing Breitlings original (modern) Superocean Heritage watch Breitling decided to release a brand new model with the Breitling Superocean Heritage II that debuted at Baselworld 2017. The Breitling Superocean Heritage II is actually a few different models comprised of v [...]

The Breitling Superocean 44 Special made its debut just over a year ago to relatively little fanfare, which is somewhat of a shame, as it remains one of the brands more cohesive, pure dive watches to come around in a few release cycles. But despite largely appearing as though a footnote in Breitlings 2016 releases, the 44 Special apparently did well enough to justify [...]

Breitling has elected to downsize one of their largest models, which is something we wish we could say happens more often at the brand. Originally a monstrous, doorjamb-attacking 50mm, the Breitling Avenger Hurricane was made a lot more wearable by the inclusion of Breitlings proprietary carbon case material which they call Breitlight. The new Breitling Avenger Hurric [...]

The watch industry is facing tough times, and offering more affordable pieces that present a real value proposition for buyers is an obvious way to reach a larger market. For mainstream luxury brands like Breitling, this means more bang-for-buck pieces like the new Colt Skyracer that we have here. In covering the release of the Breitling Colt Sky [...]

The Breitling Superocean Heritage is a classic divers watch thats now celebrating its 70th anniversary with a slight design refresh and a brand-new movement developed with Tudor watches. The new Breitling caliber B20 is derived from the Tudor Caliber MT5612?used in their Black Bay watches, among others. In fact, Tudors new Black Bay [...]

Baselworld 2017 sees the introduction of a new member of the famed Breitling Navitimer collection with a new movement and the addition of a split-second chronograph (rattrapante) complication. Containing the new in-house-made Caliber B03 automatic split-second chronograph movement, the Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante adds [...]

The new Bentley Continental Supersports is a 2.5-ton luxury four-seater?that does zero-to-60 in a physics-defying 3.4 seconds. To celebrate the launch of what is apparently the worlds fastest grocery-getter, Breitling is offering up the Supersports B55 watch-a limited-edition smartwatch of sorts built with Breitlings proprietary C [...]

Whether or not you agree with me, I feel that this is the watch Breitling should be making so its good that they actually are. At Baselworld 2017, Breitling will debut this Colt Skyracer, which is the tool watch everyone should want from the brand. A tool watch is supposed to be comfortable, durable, legible, and reliable something that [...]

For Breitlings 2016 Baselworld showing, the brand debuted an all-new Avenger with a 24-hour movement set in a hulking 50mm Breitlight polymer case-which, as lightweight and deceptively cool as it was, deserved a smaller, more approachable treatment. Well, for those hoping that this years show would bring a wearable 44 or even 46mm variant, keep waiting this is not your watch. T [...]

Im quite fond of the Chronoliner watch that was launched last year by Breitling. It wasnt Breitlings first vintage-inspired watch, of course theres the entire Transocean collection for that but I thought that the Chronoliner offered a better mix of vintage-inspired looks and modern toughness and reliability. At this point, I would like to draw your attention to th [...]

This Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronoworks watch costs about $40,000. If you havent already noticed, pricing doesnt always seem to make sense in the watch world. There are times when otherwise interesting watches are marred by having retail prices which simply confound the consumers sense of re [...]
