Swiss
manufacturer Breitling was founded in the Swiss Jura in 1884 by Léon
Breitling, a man dedicated to crafting precision chronographs and
timers. Today, Breitling remains a leader in creating sturdy, reliable,
and high-performance instruments that are especially beloved by those

movements with the Rolex-owned brand Tudor.
With
its military stylings and expert construction, you will surely find

First,
turn the watch over to take in the exhibition case back with attractive
Curtiss P-40 Warhawk artwork that celebrates the iconic American
single-seat fighter bomber.
As
long as we’re here, let’s take a look at the movement. Here we see the
self-winding automatic COSC-certified chronometer Caliber 01, which
beats at 28,800 vph, has 47 jewels, and gives you a convenient 70 hours
of power.
The
rugged stainless steel case measures 43 mm in diameter, 13.97 mm in
height, and rests upon a unique green canvas strap with a classically
styled deployant buckle. The bidirectionally rotating bezel sports
Arabic numerals and a red triangle.
SuperLuminova-filled
Arabic numerals and hands upon the intriguing green dial are prominent
in any light. In addition, you will find a date window nestled between 4
and 5 and a small seconds counter at 9. Chronograph functions include a
red-tipped center seconds hand as well as a 30-minute counter at 3 and a
12-hour counter at 6.
Additional
features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a 100 m / 10 atm
water resistance, and a screw-down winding crown.
