Breitling

Breitling, founded in 1884, is a Swiss luxury watch brand. It is popular among aviators and pilots who often use the Breitling chronometers under difficult and challenging conditions. The brand mainly produces two in-house calibers, Breitling calibre B01 and Breitling calibre B04 (similar to B01 but with a GMT feature).

The Breitling BR01 is the movement of the Breitling Chronomat 01, Breitling’s premiere attempt at producing an entire watch in-house. The Breitling Chronomat GMT Limited and the Breitling Chronomat 44 GMT are equipped with the Breitling B04.
