For those with distinct but understated tastes, Breitling has always been the timepiece to perfectly peek out from the top of the wrist. Influenced by aviation with their particular precision-made chronometers, the Swiss brand has always defined the look. Now with the release of the Breitling Chronoliner Ceramic Pilot’s Chronograph they redefine what watchmaking can be.

This sturdy ceramic version was inspired by an authentic captain’s watch, Breitling model from the 1950s-1960s. Its most prominent feature is the large bezel with scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic with a distinctive star-shaped cut-out. Its red-tipped hand allows for time telling across international zones in a 24-hour mode, while its rotating bezel includes a third timezone, designed for true global travelers. In another nod to its aviation heritage, the self-winding chronograph is displayed with incredible clarity worthy of the most precious flight instruments.

The Breitling Chronoliner is elegantly packaged in models of steel or black steel with a ceramic bezel, or 18k red gold for a real touch of indulgence. The crown features two gaskets in non-screw locked mode. Its cambered sapphire crystal is glare-proofed on both sides. For adventures in the sea rather than in the sky, the watch is water resistant to 100 meters or 330 feet.

Lucky wearers can select from Breitling’s rubber aero classic, ocean classic, or navitimer straps and monochromatic or subtled colored watch faces for the consummate and considered overall look.
