An exclusive partnership between Breitling and Govberg Jewelers offers this Chronomat 44 Special Edition timepiece, as a series of 50 limited edition pieces. The 44mm case is brushed steel with a high polished finish and a sapphire crystal exhibition caseback displaying its Breitling Caliber 01 movement. Basically the Chronomat 44 you know and love, but with a different set of dial colors.
"Over the past twenty-five years, we have watched Breitling transition from its ‘infancy’ to a horological superpower with a true cult following, " Third generation President & CEO of Govberg Jewelers Danny Govberg said. "We are honored to celebrate the Breitling collector community with such an exceptional timepiece. " For Govberg, this Breitling watch is "for the fans. "
This special version's dial is in black and charcoal with a central second hand and chronograph subdial hands accented in the brand's signature yellow. Additionally, the dial is framed with a unidirectional rotating ratcheted bezel. Its functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date and chronograph. The model also has a power reserve of 70 hours and is water resistant to 500 meters. For 2014, Breitling quietly releases a tweaked collection of Colt watches in four versions that replica breitling Aeromarine a women's model, a chronograph, and two three-handers. If you don't know, the Colt has been one of Breitling's most entry-level models representing an accessible way of getting into the brand's military-inspired sport watch theme. These new Breitling Colt watches have more Breitling DNA than ever, and there are some things to consider when looking at the new collection. I especially want to discuss the important topic of high-end quartz watches. This is especially after the also recent announcement of Breitling's even higher-end Cockpit B50 quartz-based watches aBlogtoWatch covered here.
Often times watch lovers accuse Breitling watches are looking too similar to one another. True enough, it often requires a particular expertise to distinguish one Breitling watch from another - but of course that doesn't apply to all models. If anything, Breitling has banked on that fact with the Colt, as it incorporates so many elements of Breitling design DNA into a single basic design. This is a significant change from the previous generation Breitling Colt collection that attempted to be a bit more edgy and modern. For the 2104 Breitling Colt watches, Breitling has certainly returned to what has helped make the company so popular.
