Breitling have done their very best to design a watch that can fit any occasion and what they have produced is the absolute pinnacle of practicality. This watch is strong and reliable enough to stand even the harshest of conditions as well as being water resistant to a depth of 300 metres. But crucially, this particular timepiece is also handsome enough to be worn at even the most formal occasions, with its superior durability ensuring that it will not look beaten or weathered.
The Breitling colt chronograph II is a remarkable advancement in precision timing. The movement they use is ‘superquartz’, which is certified to be 10 times more accurate than regular quartz and it is so precise that it can guarantee to be accurate to an incredible +/- 10 seconds per year.
This model is built for action and sportiness, its resilient construction and fine steel components make it one of the most all-purpose watches on the market. The polished and satin brushed metal give this watch a look of fine quality. The crystal is thick sapphire to contribute to water resistance and durability as well as glare-proof on both sides to ensure that it is easily readable in any condition.
The bezel is a well cut, ratcheted shape with thick, stamped numerals of 5 second denominations. The dials feature rounded numerals designed specifically for this model. The choices possible with a Breitling Colt mean that you can decide on exactly the style you want with a variety of colours, dials and straps available.
It is rare to find a watch that could survive an adventure holiday and still be worn to a high class event, but that is what Breitling watches have achieved with this new model. The quartz movement is at the core of what makes it so superior to other high-end watches of a similar price because the introduction of superquartz means that the Colt is more reliable, durable and precise than almost any other watch on the market
