BREITLING – SUPEROCEAN Automatic 42 Blue DANUBE Edition

In homage to the second largest and second longest river in Europe, Breitling is launching its Superocean Automatic 42 Blue Danube Edition, limited to 100 pieces.

Like no other river on earth, the Danube flows through 10 countries and is one of the oldest and most important European trade routes. The different shades of blue of the Danube were the inspiration for the color scheme of the Superocean Automatic 42 limited edition, with the blue hands representing the Danube stream on an anthracite dial.

The limited-edition marker "One of 100" and the name "Blue Danube Edition" are engraved on the caseback, making it a real collector's item. Its stainless-steel case and blue rubber strap are comfortable to wear and suitable for water-based activities. Broad hands and indexes in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for easy underwater readability. Its scratch-proof ceramic bezel will never wear or fade. With a water-resistance of up to 300 meters, it is the perfect companion for sporty adventures in the water.

The Superocean Automatic 42 Blue Danube Edition is only available in Austria and Eastern Europe.

THE OCEAN IS CALLING: EXPERIENCE THE SUPEROCEAN

The redesigned Superocean retraces the pared-down aesthetic of the original Superocean Slow Motion from the 1960s and 1970s, while adding modern features and a bright palette of color. Plus, it’s no longer strictly a dive watch—you can surf with it, swim with it or hit the beach bar with it. In the 1960s, scuba diving was all the rage, inspired by the adventures of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau. In diving, timing was everything—measured almost exclusively in minutes—and Breitling wanted to not only provide the best tool watch for the task, but give it a sense of style.

To create this early Superocean, Breitling’s designers eliminated any superfluous features that didn’t support the lifesaving needs of divers underwater. A high-contrast dial ring was introduced to the crucial minutes scale. Out went subtle indexes in favor of chunky luminescent batons for easy readability. And, in the boldest move of all, Breitling did away with the seconds hand, since divers … didn’t really need it. In its place came a revolutionary minutes-based chronograph, dubbed the “Slow Motion” because it took an hour to make a full rotation of the dial.

Today, Breitling launched a new Superocean that goes back to the Slow Motion’s simplified tool-watch philosophy. And while the collection has been revised to meet the needs of modern wearers (the seconds hand was, of course, a must), a keen eye will spot several design nods to the original.

BREITLING – NAVITIMER B12 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Edition

 

BREITLINGNAVITIMER B12 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Limited Edition 140th Anniversary 2024

 140 Years of Firsts: Navitimer 41 and Cosmonaute B12

Breitling honors its aviation and space icons with an array of releases: the Navitimer GMT and Automatic 41, and a limited-edition self-winding Cosmonaute. Sports superstars Erling Haaland and Giannis Antetokounmpo headline the Navitimer campaign as Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary.

As Breitling turns 140, it’s marking the occasion with stories of its many incredible firsts, from breakthroughs in timekeeping for air, land, and sea, to milestones in sustainability. This month, the brand recognizes two of its icons. The Navitimer, the first wristwatch for pilots to combine a chronograph and a computational slide rule. And the Cosmonaute, a 24-hour take on the Navitimer that became the first Swiss wristwatch in space.

Breitling has just unveiled new versions of these lines: the Navitimer GMT and Automatic 41, along with a new self-winding Cosmonaute.

“All this year, we’ll be talking about our 140 Years of Firsts,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “And when it comes to these two watches—the Navitimer and Cosmonaute — you cannot overstate the significance they’ve had for our brand, for aviation, and for watchmaking as a whole.”

 GROUNDED ELEGANCE:
THE SELF-WINDING COSMONAUTE B12

In 1962, Mercury Seven astronaut Scott Carpenter approached Breitling with a unique request: to modify the Navitimer’s design for space exploration. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Admiring its computational prowess, Carpenter asked for a 24-hour dial to distinguish day from night in orbit. Breitling met the challenge, and the customized Navitimer, later dubbed the Cosmonaute, accompanied Carpenter on his May 24, 1962, mission to become the first Swiss wristwatch in space.

To mark Breitling’s 140th anniversary, it is releasing a limited edition of the 24-hour timepiece. This time, however, the main modification isn’t for zero-g but for everyday life: a self-winding chronograph movement, the Breitling manufacture caliber B12.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The new release is limited to 250 pieces and only available through Breitling’s online and in-store boutiques. It features an 18 k red-gold case, beautifully complemented by its deep green dial, golden numerals, and black alligator leather strap.

Flip the watch to see the open caseback view of the contrasting oscillating weight capping the B12 movement. The manufacture caliber provides approximately 70 hours of power and comes with a 5-year warranty. A caseback engraving states the “One of 250” limitation and reveals the watch’s incredible story: “First Swiss Wristwatch in Space/Navitimer Cosmonaute May 24,1962.

Inspired by astronauts, adapted for life on Earth, the new Cosmonaute limited edition merges storied heritage with modern ease of wear.

BREITLING – TOP TIME B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon 2023

 

BREITLING TOP TIME B21 Classic Cars series Chronograph Tourbillon 2023

 A POWERFUL CLASSIC GETS AN ENGINE BOOST:
INTRODUCING THE TOP TIME CLASSIC CARS TOURBILLON

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Breitling has been souping up its precision chronographs with high complications since the 1940s, and now it builds on that tradition by adding a tourbillon to the Top Time Classic Cars Collection, the series that celebrates the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, and Shelby Cobra. The Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon is now both a symbol of speed and a celebration of Breitling’s legacy as a pioneer in the genre of luxury sport chronographs.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

 
The Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon is equipped with the same Breitling Caliber B21 that made its debut last year in the Premier Tourbillon. Breitling worked hand in hand with the specialty movement maker Manufacture La Joux-Perret to develop the movement, which takes the uncommon step of combining a tourbillon with a chronograph to make the watches so distinctly Breitling. It’s the first time the Swiss watchmaker has introduced a tourbillon in the Top Time Collection, and it will be combined with some exotic materials: combinations of bronze, ceramic, and titanium for the cases, and walnut burl on one of the dials.

“We are thrilled to introduce a tourbillon to the Top Time Classic Cars series,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “There is no better expression of Breitling’s expertise in making precision tool watches that combine functionality with sophistication and style. Like the cars it represents, the Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon is all about its design and its engine.”

STYLE AND SPEED

The Top Time Collection was introduced in the 1960s to meet the demands of people with active lifestyles. Third-generation founder Willy Breitling wanted to create an unconventional chronograph that was more style driven than the traditional tool watches Breitling was known for. He called it the Top Time, and it was as much about having a good time as it was about telling the time, becoming a fast favorite among car and motorcycle enthusiasts.

Over the years, Breitling has partnered with American classic sports car makers to capture the sense of verve and energy that characterized the 1960s. Today’s Top Time Classic Cars Collection consists of updated collaborations with Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, and Shelby Cobra.

The design is modern retro, with mushroom chronograph pushers and an up/down dial design with the tourbillon carriage at 12 o’clock. At 6 o’clock, the chronograph minute counter occupies a “squircle” (part circle, part square) register that’s a nod to vintage dashboard gauges. A tachymeter scale circles the outer dial.

MEET THE CLASSIC CARS

The Top Time B21 Ford Mustang has a 43-mm bronze case with a titanium back, and a green dial to match the colors of the first-generation Ford Mustang, produced from 1964 to 1974. It was a car that truly captured the freewheeling spirit of the ’60s.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

The Top Time B21 Shelby Cobra has a 44-mm black ceramic case with a titanium back, crown, pushers, and buckle. The blue dial matches the livery of the car, created in 1962 by Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby, who combined a small, light, British-style chassis with a strong, reliable American small-block engine.

The Top Time B21 Chevrolet Corvette has a 44-mm black ceramic case with a titanium back, crown, pushers, and buckle. The walnut burl dial and perforated leather racing strap are a homage to the steering wheel and dashboard inlays of the legendary 1960s “Sting Ray”­ Chevy Corvette.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Breitling worked with the specialty movement maker Manufacture La Joux-Perret to develop the B21. Running at a frequency of 28,800 a/h (4 hertz), with a power reserve of 55 hours, the Breitling Caliber B21 has a column-wheel-controlled design with a horizontal clutch. It is a COSC-certified chronometer with a skeletonized oscillating weight that allows a view of the column wheel through the caseback. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The tourbillon houses the balance wheel, balance spring, and escapement in a rotating cage, setting the entire assembly in perpetual motion — and effectively cancels —  the pull of gravity, which affects the watch’s accuracy in different positions.

 The Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon is water-resistant to 100 meters, and comes with Breitling’s 5-year warranty. In other words, all the style, power, and performance you would expect from a classic.

On your toughest stretches and steepest climbs, what drives you to push through to the finish? You have the physical ammunition to keep you going. Let the Endurance Pro IRONMAN® watch be another tool in your arsenal.

Considered one of the toughest and most rewarding sporting events in the world, the IRONMAN triathlon begins long before the starting shot sounds. Since 2021, Breitling has teamed up with IRONMAN as its official luxury watch partner to recognize this incredible personal achievement and the grueling months—or years — of training that go into it.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

For the 2023 race season, Breitling is introducing two new limited-edition models of the Endurance Pro IRONMAN, each presented in its race’s distinct color scheme with an IRONMAN-branded rubber strap and the competition logo at 6 o’clock. First, the Endurance Pro IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in turquoise. Limited to 250 pieces, it marks the competition in Lahti, Finland, from August 26 to 27, 2023.

Then there’s the special-edition Endurance Pro IRONMAN World Championship in blue. This model, which is also limited to 250 pieces, recognizes the men’s competition in Nice, France, on September 10, 2023, and the women’s competition in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on October 14, 2023. It is Breitling’s premium Endurance Pro, crafted in high-performance titanium.

“The Endurance Pro IRONMAN range was designed to stand up to the toughest challenges. It’s the result of our brands’ shared spirit of performance and precision,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “Completing the IRONMAN is the dream of a lifetime for so many people; it deserves an extraordinary way to be remembered.”

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO      

The limited-edition watches are only available on Breitling.com, from select Breitling boutiques and retailers, and at the Official IRONMAN Merchandise Store at the race location. Two IRONMAN timepieces can already be found as part of Breitling’s core collection: the red Endurance Pro IRONMAN and the black-and-gold Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher.

DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE

The ultra-lightweight Endurance Pro was developed for elite triathletes but works just as well as a stylish sports chronograph for everyday wear. It’s made of Breitlight®, a material almost six times lighter than stainless steel. It’s also thermally stable (with a touch that’s warmer than metal), while being scratch-resistant, non-magnetic, and hypo-allergenic.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO       

With its rubber strap and 100-m water resistance, the Endurance Pro performs just as well in water as it does on land. And each one is powered by Breitling’s Caliber 82, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ movement that provides exceptional accuracy. Combine that with its easy readability, timekeeping chronograph function, and solar compass, and you have a powerful motivator for crossing the finish line.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Treat yourself to one of these special-edition Endurance Pro watches as a reward for your achievement or let it be your incentive to conquer the challenge ahead. Either way, it’s a keepsake that will serve as a constant reminder of all that you put into becoming an IRONMAN.
