Since 1884, when Leon Breitling set himself an object to manufacture high quality technical watches, many things had changed, but not Breitling.

Breitling watches are the only ones that grace the wrists of the world's elite  groups, namely the blue angels, the thunderbirds, the British red arrows, and the Russian knights. Breitling's timepieces rank with Vacheron & Constantin among the world's most superb and expensive timepieces. In contrast to the relatively large number of chronograph and complicated models built by breitling, the company created fewer dress style watches. As fine as the chronographs yet seen less often, these special, vintage Breitling's are sought after by serious collector's, Hollywood celebrities, and anyone who desires to wear a world-class timepiece. The beautiful, gent's breitling featured today is a prime example of this phenomenon. Its silver dial is bright and attractive, professionally restored by one of the leading dial experts in north america. Its fine, original breitling movement is clean and pristine.

Breitling watches are manufactured in Switzerland and are made from Swiss components. Raw movements are obtained from eta and valjoux and are modified in the breitling chronometrie workshops, before undergoing cosc (contrã'le officiel suisse des chronomã¨tres) certification. As of 2009, breitling now makes a manufacture movement, designed, manufactured and assembled completed in-house (b01 calibre). Quartz models such as the breitling aeromarine colt start at $2,055. 00 on a rubber strap, while typical prices of mechanical, steel cased models are $7,300for the Breitling for bentley motors model. The expense is due to the exclusivity of the Bentley trademark, as well as the 38 jewel self-winding movement as these steel cased models are more expensive than some of breitling's titanium or gold models. Some special edition models also include diamonds on various parts of the watch. Breitling was a sponsor of team bentley during their le mans 24 hours campaign, running from 2001-2003. Created the limited edition breitling Bentley 24 le mans watch.

Breitling watches are all equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystals and glare proofed on both sides, which eliminates 95 percent of the reflections perceived by the naked eye. Other features include luminescent hour markers, a screw-locked crown, and water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet). Breitling watch cases are distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetic appeal, and the quality of their finish. This watch's case is made of anti-magnetic, surgical grade 316l stainless steel, which will stand up to intensive use. And each breitling dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, like on an airplane's instrument panel. The dial is blanked from a brass plate and two cylindrical feet are soldered below to ensure it holds to the movement. Polishing operations, creating special effects, and electroplating are just some of the 50 operations required to make a breitling dial. Breitling is the world's only major watch brand to offer chronometer-certified movements on all its models.

Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified. " to achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures. The breitling caliber 13 is made up of more than 140 parts, most of them assembled by hand, and assembly comprises no less than 41 checkpoints. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance spring, poising the balance--all these operations are designed to enhance the performance of each movement. An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.
