Pre-Basel 2015 – Swiss manufacturer Breitling reinterprets the original look of the Colt collection with modern, technical and efficient styling in a new chronograph. Introduced in the 1980s, the Colt was initially intended for the armed forces. The timepiece comes with a 44mm stainless steel case, an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200 meters. Equipped with an officially chronometer-certified mechanical movement, the timepiece is powered by the Swiss automatic Breitling caliber 13 with 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of 42 hours. Dials come in Volcano Black, Mariner Blue or Stratus Silver, with luminescent hands and indices. The same three shades also feature on the Colt 36mm for women, the collection’s smaller, feminine version unveiled just weeks earlier. The timepiece is completed by a variety of leather straps with deployant or buckle, rubber Ocean Racer, rubber Diver or a steel Professional bracelet. No word on price. TBA
