Stealth Pilots: 5 All-Black Breitling Watches

Black-on-black watches have been a popular category for the last several years, and Breitling has created more than its share of these “stealth” timepieces, for its popular pilots’ watch collections as well as other families, like its Superocean dive watches and even the automotive-inspired Breitling for Bentley models. Here are five all-black Breitling watches, including an all-new model in the Breitling Avenger collection.

The Breitling Avenger Seawolf Blacksteel is a professional-grade divers’ watch whose case — made of steel and blackened by means of a highly-resistant carbon-based treatment — is water-resistant to the extreme depth of 3,000 meters. The watch is powered by Breitling’s Caliber 17, and has a screw-locked crown and rotating divers’ bezel. The dial, in what Breitling refers to as “volcano black,” echoes the ebony look of the case. The white hands and indices contrast with the dial, aiding in legibility when the wearer is deep beneath the waves. There are two strap options, Breitling’s perforated “Ocean Racer” style or its rubber Diver Pro, with a raised central ridge. The Breitling Avenger Seawolf Blacksteel is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, priced at $4,720. More info and photos of the watch can be found here.

The case of the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteel, 43 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 30 meters, was blackened using the same process as on the Avenger Seawolf Blacksteel. The dial echoes the case’s black color, while white numerals and hands, coated with luminescent material, and small red hands for the chronograph counters provide contrast. Like that of its historical predecessor — famously worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter when he became the second American to orbit the Earth in 1962 — the new Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute’s dial features a circular slide rule, operated by the bezel, that enables its wearer to make various useful calculations and proclaims the model’s origins as a practical timepiece for pilots. The manual-wind movement, Breitling’s manufacture Caliber B02, powers a 1/4-second chronograph function with 30-minute and 12-hour counters; a date indication; and small seconds. A limited edition of 1,000 pieces, the Cosmonaute has a caseback bearing the Aurora mission insignia and retails for $9,590. More info and photos here.

The Breitling for Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon is a deep black tribute to the biggest Bentley engine, the famous 6.75-liter version that powers Bentley’s Mulsanne limousines. The watch’s satin-brushed steel case (49 mm in diameter) sports a special, ultra-resistant carbon-based DLC treatment and a knurled bezel inspired by Bentley’s famous radiator grilles. The dial has a vertical openworked motif that offers a glimpse of the watch’s movement, Breitling’s automatic Caliber 44B, which powers a 1/8-second chronograph, as well as a distinctive “large aperture calendar” which displays the date via two apertures — one for the tens and the other for the units — for maximum legibility. The Midnight Carbon — a limited edition of 1,000 pieces — is priced at $10,945. More details and photos here.

The Breitling Super Avenger Military Limited Series has a 48-mm case with an ultra-resistant, carbon-based black coating and finished with a glare-resistant treatment. The “volcano black” dial features a 24-hour military time display with white Arabic numerals. The curved sapphire crystal above the dial has also been treated with glare-resistant coating. This rugged military watch comes on Breitling’s “offroader” strap, made of a durable synthetic fabric similar to the type used by elite military units for special operations. The watch is equipped with a 1/4-second chronograph with a flyback function. The chronograph push-pieces are protected by two screwed-in push-piece guards and the crown is also screw-locked, with a non-slip grip. The large hands, hour markers, and numerals were designed for maximum legibility. The ratcheted bezel rotates in one direction, and the case is water-resistant to 300 meters. The Breitling Super Avenger Military is limited to 500 pieces, priced at $7,400. Click here for more specs and photos.

Last summer, Breitling introduced the Breitling Avenger Blackbird, an all-black Breitling watch whose 48-mm case is made of lightweight-but-robust titanium and coated with a carbon-based treatment. The case has a slimmer, more ergonomic profile than other Breitling Avenger watches, accented by the inward-curving lugs. The hands and hour markers are extra-large and treated with luminescent coating that stands out against the black dial in low-light conditions. The big, screw-locked crown has a non-slip grip, and the ratcheted bezel rotates in one direction. The case has a glareproof, curved sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 300 meters. The automatic movement, Breitling Caliber 17, like all Breitling watch movements, is COSC-certified as a chronometer. The Breitling Avenger Blackbird comes on a military-style canvas strap and is priced at $5,105.

Baselworld 2015 Preview: The Breitling Replica Chronoliner Takes Flight

Breitling Replica Montbrillant Watches UK looks to be emphasizing its history in 2015, with a number of watches that highlight the brand’s heritage in tool watches and precision timing devices. Sometimes that means revamping or reissuing classic models – one of which we’ve recently discussed here. But it can also mean introducing a new line that harks back to vintage design elements and a classic functionality. In that vein, Breitling gives us a new collection: the Breitling Chronoliner.

The Breitling Chronoliner is intended as a pilots’ watch, but maybe not how you’d think of that category most often. Whereas pilots’ watches today are usually designed to emphasize the more technical aspects of aviation, Breitling links the Chronoliner to the golden age of flight and the expansion of commercial air travel in the middle of the 20th century. In a statement, the brand dubs it “the authentic flight captain’s watch.” Breitling also says the watch was inspired by models of the 1950s and ’60s: although its dial is somewhat quieter, it does bear a resemblance to certain Navitimer Cosmonaute models.

The Chronoliner is a GMT chronograph. It has a center-mounted 24-hour hand that tapers very subtly towards its red arrow-shaped tip. A third time zone can be read off the 24-hour bezel in black ceramic, which is resistant to scratching. The bezel rotates in two directions and is easy to grip. A 30-minute totalizer is at 12 o’clock and a 12-hour totalizer sits at 6 o’clock; running seconds are at 9 o’clock. All three of these subdials have an off-white backing (making them stand out from the white, luminous hands and hour indexes) and bank slightly at the flange. The date, in white-on-black, is at 3 o’clock.

At the heart of the Chronoliner is Breitling’s Caliber 24. As you might guess from the subdial layout, Caliber 24 uses the ETA Valjoux 7750 as its base movement. It beats at 28,800 vph and has 25 jewels. Like all Breitling movements, it is COSC-certified. Caliber 24 may already be familiar to Breitling Replica Navitimer UK regulars: it also crops up in the Navitimer World.

You won’t get a look at the movement through the case, though. The Chronoliner has a solid caseback, bearing a stylized image of two airplanes. The case is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 46 mm. The curved sapphire crystal glass has nonreflective coating on both sides. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters.

The watch comes on one of two different Replica Breitling Super Avenger UK bracelets: either the seven-link Navitimer bracelet or the steel mesh Ocean Classic, as seen here. Look for the Chronoliner later this year. Pricing is available upon request.

Breitling Replica Galactic 44

The Galactic collection by Breitling Replica Aeromarine welcomes a new large-sized model featuring a 44 mm diameter and a satin-brushed bezel with rubber-inlaid hour-markers. Exactly what it takes to reinforce its ultra-sporty, technical look.

In 130 years, Breitling Replica Bentley has asserted itself as the specialist of chronographs and instruments for professionals. But this expertise also enables it to create watches reflecting the same performance-oriented spirit, such as the Galactic. This uber-sporty, versatile and sophisticated model is intended for all those whose activities do not necessarily require chronograph functions, but who are nonetheless looking for a watch that is at once sturdy, accurate and reliable. After a 41 mm selfwinding version and two 36 and 32 mm ladies’ models, the collection is now enriched with a new large-sized watch. In adopting a 44 mm diameter, the Galactic has strengthened its technical and masculine appeal. The unidirectional rotating bezel takes on a satin-brushed finish along with black rubber-inlaid hour-markers, while the dial features two apertures for the day and date at 12 and 3 o’Clock respectively, along with a compass scale and a graduated scale with 1/100th of an hour divisions on the inner bezel. The large hands and hour-markers enhanced with a luminescent coating guarantee excellent readability, reinforced by the sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides. The polished steel case is water-resistant to 200 m/660 ft and equipped with a screw-lock crown protected by reinforcements. It houses a selfwinding movement chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), the highest benchmark in terms of reliability and precision. The new Galactic 44 is available with a black, blue or silver dial, fitted with a choice of steel bracelet or a strap in leather, crocodile leather, rubber or military-type fabric. An uber-sporty Breitling Replica Navitimer Watches for fans of performance.

Breitling Replica Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph

Ball Watch continues to introduce patented technologies to its Breitling Replica Navitimer Watches UK. In addition to the Engineer II Magneto S watch, with its new antimagnetic system, the company last year introduced the Ball Engineer Master II Slide chronograph, which uses a mechanical slide, rather than the traditional pushers, to start, stop and reset the stopwatch.

Breaking with the traditional architecture of both the two-pusher and the monopusher system, the mechanism in the Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph combines the start, stop, and zero-reset mechanisms in a single integrated control, located at the 9 o’clock position on the case. This so-called “slide chronograph” — developed and patented by Ball Watch — uses a circular slide bar fitted around the movement. A clockwise rotation of this slide bar (i.e., moving the slider upward, after which it returns to its original position) starts and stops the chronograph function, while a counterclockwise motion (moving the slider downward) resets the chronograph hands to their zero positions. Ball Watch regards this system as an ergonomic improvement on the standard chronograph watch, because the wearer can use one finger to guide all the functions while wearing the watch.

The watch is large: its stainless steel case is 47.6 mm in diameter, providing ample space for the black dial, with chronograph subdials at 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock and a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock. Day and date are displayed in a window at 3 o’clock. A tachymeter scale for measuring speeds over distance is silk-screen printed onto the dial’s sloping flange. A grooved, chiseled bezel surrounds the dial.

Like all Replica Breitling Super Ocean Watches, the Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph features a series of H3 gas microtubes for maximum illumination in low-light conditions. The gas in the cylindrical micro-tubes — 15 in total, including two in the hour and minute hands, 12 in the hour indices, and an additional one incorporated into the chronograph’s slide bar — releases light continuously and requires no additional light source to activate its luminosity, distinguishing it from the more common Super-LumiNova.

Ball says that the H3 gas is also 100 times more powerful than conventional luminous paints and lasts up to 25 years.

The Ball Engineer Master II Slide Chronograph contains a Swiss-made automatic mechanical movement, called BALL RR1402 (an ETA 7750 base upgraded with the patented slide mechanism) and comes in an extremely robust case that is impact-resistant to 5,000 Gs, resistant to magnetic fields to an intensity of 4,800 A/m and water-resistant to 100 meters. The crown screws down securely and the crystal has a nonreflective treatment. The Breitling Replica Bentley Watches, which will be available at retail this fall, comes on a stainless steel bracelet with a folding buckle and will be priced at $3,399.
