A Brief History of Breitling

Breitling is a watch maker that has been renowned for making the highest quality watches for over one hundred and twenty years now. With a great deal of the firm’s success coming from aviator’s watches, it makes sense for the brand to be highly involved in the aviation industry.

Just One of Breitling's Beautiful Navitimer Watches

Breitling have created so many watches that have been designed with special features designed for pilots, that it is at times difficult to keep track of the incredible variety of different models and collections.  Perhaps the most famous of all of Breitling’s aviator’s watches is the Breitling Navitimer that was first released in the 1940’s and is considered by many people to be the quintessential pilot’s watch. With the revolutionary circular side rule that made the watch incredibly practical for a pilot to use whilst in the air, it soon became a favourite and was even taken into space by NASA astronauts in the 1960’s.

Breitling’s involvement in the aviation industry does not stop solely at manufacturing watches for pilots; they also have a wide variety of other interests in the aviation world. From sponsorship deals of some of the world’s biggest air races, to their own stunt flight team, Breitling truly is synonymous with the aviation industry.
