Technically, this Breitling works perfectly and has been recently revised: (267 °; + 8s / d).
Breitling was founded by Léon Breitling in Switzerland in 1884 and is owned by the British financial investor CVC Capital Partners.
Since the 1930s, the manufacturer has been supplying the Royal Air Force and, since the 1940s, the US Army Air Force with on-board clocks and wristwatches specially developed for pilots with predominantly black dials and eye-catching luminous numbers. The operating patterns and possible calculations made sense especially for pilots. Among other things, Willy Breitling introduced the second pusher as a stopping mechanism for the chronograph from 1934, which still sets the standard in the watch industry today.
The models Chronomat and its further development Navitimer from 1952 have complex bezels for special calculations by airmen such as fuel consumption, climb and descent rates and speeds. Also called a pilot's personal on-board instrument. With the Superocean Breitling entered the market in 1958 with the first diving watch.
In 1979 the name and trademark rights of Willy Breitling passed to the entrepreneur Ernest Schneider, who had been producing watches under the Sicura brand since the 1960s. The manufacturer specialized in multifunctional mechanical chronographs including integrated quartz functions, for example the pilot's watch Emergency with an emergency transmitter especially for pilots.
The first mechanical diver's watch to be watertight to a depth of 3000 meters in 2002 and the self-constructed chronograph movement attracted particular attention B01 for the 125th anniversary celebration in 2009.
