Welcome to Breitling: Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Breitling stands as a symbol of precision, performance, and pioneering spirit in the world of horology. Our timepieces are not just instruments to measure time; they are embodiments of a rich heritage intertwined with cutting-edge technology. Since our inception, we have continuously pushed the boundaries of watchmaking, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovations to create watches that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.
Our Legacy
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, our brand has consistently been at the forefront of the watchmaking industry. Léon’s vision was to create high-quality, reliable, and precise chronographs that could be used by professionals in demanding fields. Over the years, Breitling has maintained this vision, establishing itself as a leader in the production of chronographs and precision instruments.
One of our most significant contributions to the world of watchmaking is the invention of the wrist chronograph with an independent push-piece in 1915. This innovation revolutionized the way chronographs were used and set the standard for future developments. In 1934, Breitling further advanced the chronograph by adding a second independent push-piece, allowing for more complex timekeeping functions.
Breitling’s commitment to excellence and innovation has been recognized worldwide. Our watches have been used by pilots, astronauts, and adventurers, proving their reliability in the most challenging environments. The brand’s association with aviation, in particular, has become a defining aspect of our identity.
The Breitling Difference
At Breitling, we believe that a watch should do more than just tell time. It should be a reflection of the wearer’s personality, a statement of style, and a tool that can be relied upon in any situation. This philosophy drives us to create timepieces that are not only beautiful but also built to the highest standards of durability and functionality.
Our watches are crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Each component is designed and manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring that every Breitling watch meets our exacting standards. We use only the finest materials, from robust stainless steel and lightweight titanium to luxurious gold and platinum, to create watches that are both durable and elegant.
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Breitling is constantly exploring new technologies and materials to enhance the performance and functionality of our watches. Whether it’s developing advanced movements, incorporating cutting-edge materials, or designing user-friendly interfaces, we are always striving to push the boundaries of what is possible.

Commitment to Sustainability
Breitling is committed to sustainability and responsible business practices. We recognize the importance of protecting our planet and are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact. This commitment is reflected in every aspect of our operations, from sourcing materials to manufacturing processes and packaging.
We strive to use sustainable materials wherever possible. Our leather straps, for instance, are crafted from responsibly sourced hides, and we are continually exploring alternatives to traditional materials to reduce our environmental footprint. In addition, we have implemented energy-efficient practices in our manufacturing facilities to reduce our carbon emissions.
Breitling is also a proud supporter of ocean conservation efforts. Our partnership with Ocean Conservancy aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans and to support initiatives that promote marine health. Through our Superocean Heritage collection, we contribute to ocean conservation projects and encourage our customers to join us in this vital mission.
Pioneering Technology
Breitling’s dedication to innovation extends to the development of our watch movements. We have established our own manufacturing facility, Breitling Chronométrie, where we design and produce our in-house calibers. This allows us to maintain complete control over the quality and performance of our movements, ensuring that every Breitling watch delivers exceptional precision and reliability.
One of our most notable achievements is the development of the Breitling Caliber B01, an in-house chronograph movement that has set new standards in the industry. The B01 offers an impressive power reserve of 70 hours, a column-wheel mechanism for smooth operation, and a vertical clutch for precise timekeeping. This movement has been used in several of our flagship models, including the Chronomat and Navitimer collections.
Breitling is also at the forefront of smartwatch technology. Our Exospace B55 combines the functionality of a traditional chronograph with the connectivity of a smartwatch. Designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts, the Exospace B55 allows users to sync their watch with their smartphone, offering features such as flight logging, notifications, and time zone adjustments. This innovative approach ensures that our customers have access to the latest technology while retaining the timeless appeal of a Breitling watch.
A Legacy of Precision
Breitling’s commitment to precision is exemplified by our dedication to chronometer certification. Every mechanical watch we produce is tested and certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), ensuring that it meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. This rigorous testing process involves subjecting the watches to a series of demanding tests over a period of several days, verifying their performance in various conditions and positions.
In addition to chronometer certification, we have implemented our own stringent quality control measures. Each Breitling watch undergoes extensive testing and inspection at every stage of production, from the assembly of the movement to the final inspection of the completed timepiece. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every watch that leaves our workshop is of the highest quality and ready to provide years of reliable service.
Timeless Design
While Breitling is renowned for its technical prowess, our watches are also celebrated for their timeless design. We believe that a watch should be a work of art, combining form and function in perfect harmony. Our design team draws inspiration from our rich heritage, creating timepieces that are both contemporary and timeless.
The design of a Breitling watch is characterized by its bold, masculine aesthetic. Our dials are meticulously crafted to ensure optimal readability, with large, luminescent markers and hands that allow for easy timekeeping even in low light conditions. The cases are robust and well-proportioned, providing a solid, comfortable fit on the wrist.
Breitling offers a variety of styles to suit different tastes and occasions. From the sporty and rugged appeal of the Avenger collection to the classic elegance of the Transocean collection, there is a Breitling watch for every preference. Our watches are available with a range of straps and bracelets, including leather, rubber, and metal options, allowing customers to personalize their timepiece to match their style.
