Breitling

Breitling is a brand of Swiss watches produced by Breitling SA, a private company headquartered in Grenchen, Canton of Solothurn (original headquarters was founded in Saint-Imier, Bernese Jura by Leon Breitling in 1884). The watchmaker offers high-end Certified Chronometers designed primarily for aviation use. Breitling's watches offer aviation functions, though their chronograph functions have become more of status symbols than practically applied tools. Typically, They have a large face (for example the Breitling for Bentley Motors edition has a 48 mm Case Diameter) for better visibility and to allow to display more information on the analog dials. Many models feature an automatic winding mechanism which is purely mechanical (like using no electronic components). Many Breitling watches are equipped with additional functions such as the flyback function, split-second, moon phase, date display and other complications.

All Breitling watches are produced in Switzerland and are made from Swiss components. Raw movements are obtained from ETA and Valjoux and are modified in the Breitling Chronometrie Workshops, before undergoing COSC (Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres) certification. From 2009, Breitling makes a manufacture movement, designed, manufactured and assembled completed inside.

Quartz models such as the Breitling Aeromarine Colt start at $2,055.00 on a rubber strap, while typical prices of mechanical, steel cased models are $7,300 (US) for the Breitling for Bentley Motors model. And some special edition models also inlay diamonds on many parts of the watch. Like Diamond Bezel, Diamond Bracelet, and so on.

Because of the exquisite craft and outstanding functions that a Breitling watch has, it is worthy to have one!
