Breitling Chronospace Automatic Watch

Last year saw Breitling release the new large-sized Chronospace models equipped with Swiss Superquartz multi-function movements. That same 46mm wide steel watch will now come in an automatic chronograph form with a Brietling calibre 23 (base ETA) COSC Chronometer certified movement. Not bad looking, the Chronospace does feel a bit "Breitling Generic." As though most of the features could be found on other models. Most iconic for the collection are its large size, applied square style hour markers and bezel style.

Breitling Chronospace Jet Team Watch

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

Breitling has issued a timepiece (perhaps one of many) to celebrate their sponsorship of the "Jet Team" (known now as the Breitling Jet Team." These crazy pilots do amazing things in the air including aerial acrobatics with their plans and flying in spectacular formations. Breitling is pretty proud to be a sponsor, and has released a 1000 piece limited edition version of their new for 2010 Chronospace watch. The Chronospace Jet Team has special branding on the dial including an image of a jet team jet (an L-39 Albatros), and the team's logo.

Aside from this dial imagery (and likely some new message on the caseback), the watch is the same interesting Chronospace model that is new for this year. I did a more comprehensive write up on the Breitling Chronospace watches here. In short, the new collection uses their Superquartz COSC Chronometer movements with a range of functions, and comes in a 48mm wide steel case and mesh steel bracelet. Not sure on price, but expect a premium over the non-limited Chronospace models.
