Its
44 mm
watch case is made out of
Breitlight®, which is
3.3 times lighter than
titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel, but significantly harder.
This exclusive high-tech material boasts exceptional resistance to
scratches, traction, and corrosion. It also stands out for its
anti-magnetic and anti-allergic properties, as well as its thermal
stability, which gives it a warmer feel than metal.

It’s powered
by the
Breitling Caliber 82,
a COSC-certified thermocompensated
SuperQuartz™ movement that is ten
times more precise than regular quartz and offers a battery life of
approximately three to four years.

The bidirectional rotating
bezel has engraved compass points, and the tactile molded crown provides
excellent grip and maneuverability. The hour and minute hands are
coated with Super-LumiNova®, making them legible even in limited
lighting conditions. Along with a small-second subdial, there are
1/10th
second and 30-minute chronograph counters that have also been designed
for easy reading. The watch is water-resistant to 10 bar/100 meters/330
feet.

At present there are two versions available:
Endurance Pro
IRONMAN and
Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher. The former comes with a red
dial featuring a black inner bezel with a pulsometer scale. The watch is
presented on a red rubber strap with a
Breitlight® double tang-type
buckle. It features a unique
IRONMAN inscription instead of the
Breitling inscription. The latter – black accented with gold – is
targeted at athletes who’ve completed an
IRONMAN event. This version
will be available exclusively through
IRONMAN channels, and
its caseback features a special
IRONMAN Finisher Series engraving.

The
original
Endurance Pro was inspired by the
Breitling Sprint, a colorful
and impressively lightweight watch from the
1970s. Its pulsometer made
it ideal for athletes who wanted to monitor their heart rates.
