Right before Baselworld 2015, Breitling has launched an automatic Chronograph watch in the Colt series collection. The Colt was first launched in the 1980s and intended for the armed forces. The Colt series offers the least priced watches, from Breitling. The new Colt Breitling automatic watch 2015 version is a Chronograph. Most watches in the Colt series are either automatic or run on quartz movement.
With the new Breitling Chronograph watch, the swiss watch brand interprets the technical, understated and efficient styling of the Colt collection, in a new selfwinding movement. The new Breitling Automatic watch 2015 is an instrument that brilliantly reinterprets all the key assets of the Colt collection, with counters placed at 12, 9 and 6 o’clock. The broad unidirectional rotating bezel, with satin-brushed finishes and engraved hour-markers, is distinguished by its four “rider tabs“ – a signature Breitling feature – ensuring both excellent handling and optimal protection of the sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides. The 44 mm-diameter polished steel case of Breitling automatic watch 2015 is water-resistant to 200 m (660 ft) and features a large screw-locked crown with protective reinforcements.
The watch comes in three dial different dial colours. The black, blue or silver dials are enlivened by a fine circular raised motif, and their readability is reinforced by oversized hands and hour-markers enhanced by a luminescent coating
