Breitling's Beautiful Ladies Watch

Many of the Breitling creations of the past were large, technical instruments, with manly appeal, but Breitling has a softer side, as well.  Breitling has a well deserved reputation for building professional watches, equipped for nautical and aviation use.  They pay close attention to detail and produce some of the finest Swiss made timepieces around.  Today, I’d like to highlight a Breitling women’s watch.  The Breitling Colt Oceane women’s watch is among their Aeromarine series, and was originally part of Breitling’s professional diving watch collection.  This women’s version has cleaner lines and is less complex, yet has all of Breitling’s quality ingenuity built in.  It is a smaller model, and has feminine detailing.  This is a Quartz model, and offers versatility and reliability.  It comes with a black dial and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, which has been glare proofed on two sides.  The stainless-steel case has a screw down backing, and the steel bezel offers a screw down crown.  The watch face and bracelet are brushed finished, and the strap is fitted with a fold over clasp.  This is an entry level Breitling, and retails for right around $2,000.  Breitling has a proven track record of making quality watches.  This Breitling women’s watch will look great and perform for years to come.

Breitling Superocean Deep Diving Watch

Summer time means being at the beach and in the pool.  What better accessory for the water than a Breitling watch?  The Breitling Men’s Aeromarine Superocean Watch Collection is a tough and resilient line of men’s timepieces, which just happen to be super-stylish, as well.  The Aeromarine Superocean watches were first released in the 1950’s.  These precision instruments have gained respect as professional diving watches, for their quality and performance, but are sought after by non-professionals, as well.  These men’s watches offer an incredible water resistance in depths as deep as 5,000 feet!  These technologically advanced instruments are equipped with safety valves, which will allow for balanced pressure in and out of the case.  In deep watch conditions, this feature is crucial to the performance of the watch.  Of course, the Breitling Aeromarine Superocean watches would not be complete without luminescent hands and indicators, so Breitling has added these features to their Superocean line.  These men’s diving watches are full of exceptional function, and are handsomely addressed, too.  These timepieces come with brightly colored dials, of orange, blue, yellow, and white…as well as black and steel.  The straps are in either polished and brushed steel, or rubber.  Make your summer special, with a Breitling Aeromarine Superocean.

Breitling Women's Windrider

Breitling has been turning out high end precision Swiss watches since 1884.  They own a reputation of exceptional quality and innovative design.  These timepieces are true timekeeping instruments, which offer extreme functionality wrapped in bold and luxurious packages.  Although most of Breitling’s creations are reserved for men, they do have some really striking women’s watches, like the Windrider Starliner line.  These timepieces allow for all of Breitling’s ingenuity to shine through in a more feminine fashion.

The Breitling Windrider Starliner A7134053.K512.360A is one of their Swiss Quartz models.  Its stunning good looks start with the pink Mother-of-Pearl dial, which has been accented by brilliant round cut diamonds acting as the hour markers.  The bezel is crafted of polished steel and is also adorned with diamonds.  As with all Breitling’s this watch is fitted with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 330 feet.  The bracelet on this women’s watch is presented in a highly polished steel link, complete with locking fold over clasp.  The Windrider Starliner is all Swiss made and carries Breitling’s reputation for luxury watch making.  This is definitely a watch for the woman who knows what she wants.  It is commanding, and at the same time exudes a feminine aura.  You can’t go wrong with this watch…Breitlings’ are simply the best!

Breitling Watches, Authentic

Breitling watches are really exceptionally made.  Unlike many other quality watches, these timepieces are replicated.  A $5,000 authentic Breitling can be purchased, in replica for $49.00.  That’s just ridiculous.  If you know anything about Breilting, you know what they’re made of.  The Breitling name stands for precision and craftsmanship.  They have, after all been crafting these fine instruments for a very long time, since 1881, in fact, and they have earned a solid reputation.  They’re quality work and excellent quality has opened doors to an admirable relationship with pilots, around the world.  Leon Breitling had a clear vision of what he wanted to create…the best made quality chronographs on earth, and he succeeded.  The chronograph pocket watches that he developed in his early years are still some of the highest quality timepieces you can find.  Knowing a bit of the history of Breitling, and having an appreciation for the brilliant masters that have been involved in this work, should drive you away from Breitling replicas.  Stay true and purchase only authentic Bretiling watches, from Breitling or a reputable dealer.  It’s tempting to believe you can own a Breitling Navitimer for just $39.99, but it’s not realistic.  With Breitling, you’re not paying for the name, you’re purchasing a high quality, precision instrument…and a bit of history.

The Breitling 701, A Fine Choice

Time to explore more of Breitling’s fantastic watches.  This watchmaker really know their stuff.  Making mechanical timepieces is an art and the folks at Breitling are masters in their field.  They have added some quartz automatic pieces to their inventory, but let’s talk about one of their famous Mechanical hand-wound versions.  The A2332212/B635 Navitimer 701 Chronograph is a gorgeous men’s watch, from Breitling.  The Navitimer has been part of the Breitling line for decades.  This is an all stainless-steel men’s watch, built for strength and durability.  As with most Breitling’s the size is big and bold.  The case measures over 41 mm, and has a thickness of 15 mm.  The bracelet is a highly polished stainless-steel and in a men’s length, a very thick, 22 mm, and comes with a safety-set folding clasp.  The Breitling Navatimer 701 Chronograph features a bezel that has bidirectional functioning and a date calendar at the 4 o’clock setting.  The dial is done in a jet black, which really stands out against the shine of the steel.  The Breitling Navitimer 701 is water resistant to 99 feet.  If you love precision timepieces, you can’t help but appreciate Breitling.  Breitling watches are admired across the globe for their precision and excellent quality.

Brieltling SuperOcean Collection

Authentic Breitling instruments are made with integrity and quality that’s unmatched.  I have to say that Breitling makes my favorite line of technical watches.  They are created with technology precisely designed for professionals.  Breitling’s lines of diving pieces are the focus for today.  The SuperOcean Collection embodies all that a professional diver wants and needs when braving the depths of the sea.

The Breitling Abyss Blue Professional is a beautifully designed diving watch.  It is made from all Breitling 17 caliber movement, and is officially chronometer-certified.  This watch features a screw-locked crown with a unidirectional ratcheted bezel (very important for divers).  The case is crafted of steel, with a cambered sapphire crystal…and it can withstand depths of up to 5000 feet!  That is impressive. 

Breitling made this watch with special steel that is designed not to corrode in salt water, and this line comes in either that steel bracelet of a durable rubberized strap.  It is also equipped with large, luminous markings for super-easy reading.

Like I mentioned, this is a professional instrument, which performs at great depths…but, you don’t need to be a diver to appreciate or wear this timepiece.  It looks amazing on dry land, as well.  This is a handsome, rugged watch from Breitling, so even if you don’t swim…check it out.

Breitling watches are without a doubt highly desirable timepieces.  So how can the maker of some of the finest luxury watches make their products even more desirable?  Simple: team up with Bentley, maker of some of the finest ultra-luxury vehicles on the planet

Red Gold Limited, 100 pieces set

The latest models of watches in this luxury partnership are the Bentley GMT 2009 Limited Series.  Brietling for Bentley spared no expense when creating this extremely limited collection and each watch is a testament to the superior refinement of both brands.

Beginning with the most available of the set at 100 pieces, the Red Gold Limited Bentley GMT comes with a bronze dial and red accented hands.  Its brother, also called the Red Gold Limited, is a set of 50 pieces.  It comes with diamonds set into the strap attachments and at the hour markers, as well as either a natural or azure mother-of-pearl dial.  Next in the series is the White Gold Limited.  Only amounting to 25 pieces, this watch features the same diamond settings and dial choices as the 50 piece Red Gold Limited.  The final watch in the series is also called the White Gold Limited.  This timepiece distinguishes itself by being set with baguette-cut diamonds and having a diamond-pave dial; understandably, this watch is a set of only 10 pieces.

Breitling Bentley

It’s not hard to understand why some people would choose to by a replica of an authentic watch.  A TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 costs roughly a grand, while a Breitling Bentley is almost 100 hundred times that.  Even a savvy buyer looking for a genuine watch on the used market knows it will cost him at least a few hundred dollars.  Because of the high cost associated with luxury brand watches, a replica seems like the perfect deal: a chance to wear a Rolex or Omega watch for a fraction of the price either cost.

What these seemingly smart shoppers miss is that there’s a reason authentic watches come with a high price tag.  Watches that carry a luxury name are hand-crafted under stringent quality controls, feature accurate movements, and are made from the finest materials.  Replicas, on the other hand, feature inferior movements, cheaper materials, inconsistencies, and can even have contaminants like hairs trapped underneath the crystal.

With all of the inaccuracies and inconsistencies that come with replica watches, it’s easy to say that you get what you pay for.  But there is one other thing to consider when looking at the authentic versus replica decision: people who wear authentic watches have the satisfaction of knowing that the watch on their wrist is the real deal, and the people who wear them know this can’t be underestimated or understated.

Breitling continues to steal the show with its Chronomat series, which recently got a serious facelift.  The new case of the men’s Chronomat B01 is more elongated, with a profile that molds the watch to the wrist. Its unidirectional rotating bezel has engraved numerals, and its stunning new dial comes in either an hour-marker or Roman numeral version.  Overall, the new design features a mix of colors and textures that not only enhance the look of the watch, but also makes it more functional for men on the move.

Looks aside, what really makes the Breitling B01 Chronomat a success is its new Caliber B01 movement.  In order to achieve its coveted status as “COSC Chronometer-certified”, the B01 had to withstand 15 days of rigorous testing.  The results: 1,650 feet of water-resistance, incredible precision and reliability, this timepiece easily ranks as one of the best men’s chronographs available today.

The Breitling AB011012/b967 model features an “onyx black” dial, with raised silver inner-bezel, tachymeter scale, and silver sub-dials.  The polished finish of both bezel and case are distinctively engraved with satin finished numerals. There is a 12-hour counter dial at the six o’clock position, a date window at four o’clock and a small second sub-dial at nine o’clock.  Hour markers and hands are tipped with luminous material, and highly visible in the dark.

Well, our poll results are in and according to our members, fans and blog readers, the favored luxury watch brand for 2009 is Breitling!

As you can see here in this picture of a Breitling for Bentley GMT model, Breitlings are top of the line in terms of craftmanship and complexity; the latter being what the Breitling brand was founded on and continues to put first and foremost.

Breitling came in with 32%, followed by Omega with 27%, Cartier with 18%, Michele with 14% and lastly, Panerai with 9%.

I’m a bit surprised with the results to be honest with you; I would have thought that something more traditional like Cartier watches (especially with holidays purchases spiking specific interest) would have come in closer to the top. But that’s why the “people’s voice” is so great! YOU tell US what you think is the best and then we know.

Breitling is a definite favorite among celebrities and perhaps some of this public attention swayed your vote. Celebs like John Travolta, Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones and Dave Chapell love their Breitlings. Seen the video?

Whether you voted for Breitling as #1 or not, you can always find your dream watch with us and many times we run special promotions on already super low prices, so stay tuned. 2010 is the year to know what time it is!
