Breitling Watches

Breitling watches are the top of the crop. These fine crafted timepieces go through a rigorous manufacturing process as well as an extensive testing process. To give you an idea of the excellence you are obtaining when purchasing breitling watches, let me just simply outline the manufacturing process.

Breitling is the only brand name watchmaker in the world that offers chronometer-certified movements on all of its watches. Only 3% of watches produced in Switzerland are chronometer-certified watches. Breitling watches contain the highly acclaimed Caliber 13 movement, which contains over 140 parts, most of them assembled by hand. After the assembly, they are put through rigorous tests for 15 days by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. Only after passing all of the tests are the watches chronometer-certified.

For the case, Breitling watches boast of the utilization of sophisticated alloys such as antimagnetic stainless steel and grade 2 titanium. The 59 pieces of the case go through 15 polishing operations, each done by hand, guaranteeing an incomparable finish.

The hands and dials used in Breitling watches also go through a meticulous production process. For the hands, just creating the Breitling symbol alone calls for 3 blanking procedures. The dials require 50 some odd operations to manufacture. The assembly process is all done by hand and goes through an impeccable visual as well as technical testing under magnifying glass.

The Breitling name has always been associated with quality since it was established in 1884. Breitling watches have been favorites of pilots for years and come in 4 lines: Navitimer, Windrider, Professional, and Aeromarine. The different lines are tailored to different needs. For example, the Professional like is specifically tailored to the Aviation world with its built in micro transmitter that broadcasts at the aircraft emergency frequency. Breitling watches mean quality and professionalism.
