Breitling Chronospace Jet Team limited edition chronographCelebrating seven years of partnership between the most famous French aerobatics team and Breitling, the Swiss watch maker has issued the new Breitling Chronospace Jet Team limited edition SuperQuartz COSC-certified chronograph watch.During its first 20 years of history the French civilian aerobatic display team changed four sponsors (those including the Martini brand,) three types of planes (the Italian piston-powered Aermacchi SF.260, the Swiss turboprop Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer and, now, the Czech turbofan L-39 Albatros) and was about to go bankrupt in 2003, when it was saved from disaster by the Swiss watchmakers thus becoming the Breitling Jet Team.Thanks to the Swiss watch brand, the Dijon-based team expanded from four to more impressive seven planes and at this time is regarded as one of the most popular aerobatics teams in the world performing at Formula 1 Grand Prix races, all kinds of air shows and, noblesse oblige, at Breitling’s corporate events.It was simply inevitable for the Swiss watchmakers to deliver a 1000-piece Breitling Chronospace Jet Team limited edition watch.Just like the normal Breitling Chronospace, the Jet Team comes powered by the famous Caliber 78 SuperQuartz COSC-certified chronometer movement, which is based on the ETA E20.341 Thermoline quartz mechanism featuring the thermocompensation technology that ensures almost unrivalled precision of the watch.Unlike the base model, I very much adore the Jet Team version, mainly thanks to the lack of the gargantuan numerals on its huge dial, that are replaced with medium-sized hour marks. Covered in a thick layer of SuperLuminova, they provide highly-legible readings even in the worst lighting conditions without drawing too much attention to themselves.The Breitling Jet Team logo, which is printed at 3 o’clock, is adequately balanced with a graphic L-39 representation at 6 o’clock and seems to be visually supported by the two NVG compatible LCD digital displays at the northern and southern parts of the white dial.Of course, one could have expected the hour and minute hands to be slightly thicker, more proportionate with its huge case reaching 48 mm in diameter, but nothing is perfect, eh?In its press release Breitling doesn’t say a single word about the watch’s price, but expect at least 20 percent premium over the normal Breitling Chronospace SuperQuartz Chronograph watch. With the latter selling for as high as $4800, this limited edition model may be offered at an MSRP of some $6000.

The newest Breitling watch to join the prestigious Breitling for Bentley watch collection is the new Bentley GMT. This Breitling chronograph is an original design including the first new black rubber strap ever in the Breitling for Bentley collection. Other features you can expect from the Breitling for Bentley watch is the precise clasp mechanism and larger dimensions of the bezel. The dial includes raised numerals and hour makers and new push pieces. The Bentley GMT also comes in some neat styles including steel and a rare red and gold version. The Bentley GMT is perfect for a world traveler due to a multiple time zone display system including an independent hour hand in which the dial does a full turn for 24 hours. Another cool globalizing feature is the inner bezel. The inner bezel of the Bentley GMT shows the name of 24 cities displaying time zones around the world by simply turning the bezel to the desired time zone.
