Excellent condition Breitling Wings pilot watch in steel and gold.  It had a £380 service in 2007 at Coles, who are authorised Breitling dealers. It is a quartz powered pilots wristwatch. This is a regular size watch rather than an oversize watch that so many seem to be these days. This size is decent and makes it comfortable to wear. This is the entry level priced Breitling, but by no means entry level in terms of quality, finish and construction.  This especially so given that it is also classed as a professional instrument with its 100 meter water resistance (not tested).  It is hard wearing and feels strong and substantial. The case is polished steel case with sapphire crystal which has an anti reflective coating. The case has gold accents on the bezel, and gold bezel riders with a gold crown. It has a screw down crown giving it decent water resistance.  Has bright gold dial markings and gold luminous filled hands against an black dial, with aviator style markings and a date at the 3 position.  Has a sturdy uni directional ratchet operated rotating bezel with riders at the primary number positions.  Being a quartz watch, it is deadly accurate, does not need winding up and very reliable. The watch comes in the original box but lacks the original paper work, but comes with the £380 service receipt. It comes on the original bracelet with folding clasp and fliplock safety buckle . The width is 38 mm excluding crown, and 42 mm including the crown. The thickness is 13.5 mm and the lug to lug distance is 44 mm Ref: BRL 138. Price is £595 or US $995

Vintage, rare and very collectible Breitling 765 Co-Pilot watch with hand wound movement.  The watch is working perfectly and all functions work correctly, and just come back from full service and movement overhaul.  This is a classic Breitling pilot watch and is referred to as the 765 Co-Pilot, originally produced in the 1950's and this one dates to the mid to late 60’s. The watch is all stainless steel, very large and substantial and is a true instrument timepiece. It naturally has the rotating bezel which is an aviators count down bezel with sixty minute increments. The final fifteen minutes are iterated in clear five minute increments and numbered 5 down to 1 three times in three separate colour coded sections. These being red, silver and blue. It has a beautiful dial in outstanding condition, which is mat black, long baton markings and very distinctive silver sub dials in a tri compax sub dial configuration. The 60 second elapsed timer is the large sweep second chronograph hand, the fifteen minute elapsed timer is at the 3 position and the twelve hour elapsed timer is at the 6 position. The subsidiary seconds are at 9. This one is slightly unusual as it has a fifteen minute elapsed timer rather than thirty minute. The movement is specifically adapted for this to make chronograph readings more legible and clearer. Most unusually with this adaption, the format cis changed so that the fifteen minute hand jumps to the half minute position when the central on minute elapsed time hand passes the thirty position. This makes chronograph readings even more legible and highly accurate. It is an essential function, of any aviator from, pilot, to navigator or flight engineer. The movement whilst it has this adaption is of no problem to any watchmaker servicing the watch and it was serviced with the ease of any other hand winding chronograph prior to advertising it. The movement is  hand winding Swiss made Venus 178, which is also used in the Breitling Navitimer amongst other decent quality watches. Lovely well laid out and symmetrical dial design. Curved acrylic crystal and screw on case back. The case back is Breitling signed, with the words ”Shock Protected, Anti Magnetic, Stainless Steel, Waterproof” Along with the B logo and words “Breitling, and 765 CP” It has the original large signed Breitling crown, Breitling signed movement and comes on a decent quality replacement bund style black leather strap with pin buckle. Dimensions are as follows. The width is 41 mm excluding crown, and 44 mm including the crown. The thickness is 14 mm and the lug to lug distance is 48 mm Ref: BRL 138. reserved

Mint condition six months old Breitling Bentley Motors automatic chronograph. It was purchased form UK authorised dealers in June 2009 so just 4 months old when taken into stock. The Bentley Motors chronograph cultivates originality, but permeated by an eminently British sense of refinement and moderation. The gaze is immediately struck by the knurled finishing on the bezel, inspired by the Bentley control buttons. The case is distinguished by its imposing diameter. Breitling has combined this original design with an exclusive technical touch. The Bentley Motors chronograph features a unique mechanism known as the “30-second” type chronograph. The centre hand sweeps once around the dial in half a minute instead of the customary 60 seconds, an astonishing configuration that enables extremely accurate read-off to within 1/8th of a second. This distinctive feature is part of Calibre 25B, a movement stemming from the Breitling Chronométrie workshops and which is officially chronometer-certified, as indeed are all Breitling movements. In tribute to the automobile world, the Bentley Motors is equipped with another world exclusive feature, the “variable tachometer”, which enables one to measure average speed, regardless of the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. The movement is a Breitling Calibre 25B, chronometer-certified by the COSC, self winding high-frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour), 38 jewels. 1/8th of a second chronograph, 30-second, 15-minute and 6-hour totalisers, with date. The case is large and substantial stainless steel. It is water-resistant to 100 metres. Screw-locked crown. Rotating pinion bezel with variable tachometer (circular slide-rule). Cambered sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating on both sides of the crystal. The dial is black with matching black Barenia leather strap. UK retail price has just gone up to £5,700 (US $9,140).  Dimensions are as follows. Diameter is 48 mm excluding the crown, 50 mm including the crown, lug to lug is 52 mm and thickness is 16 mm.

Mint condition and outstanding looking Breitling Blackbird. The discreet stealth styled Breitling Blackbird owes it’s name and looks to the US high altitude reconnaissance aircraft built largely of titanium alloy that has set practically every known speed and altitude record.  This watch sets to emulate this by having a titanium appearance the way iyt is matte finished, but retains the heaviness and substantial feel as it is still made of the more popular stainless steel.  Breitling have long been associated with aviation and navigational/flight instrument watches.  Their watches are the choice of navigators and pilots alike around the world.  The Blackbird has a rare and seldom seen satinised/brushed stainless steel case and genuine Breitling blue leather strap with Breitlign buckle.  It is matte throughout which includes the bezel rider tabs, crews, push pieces and crown.  It is also rare in that it has an off blue dial, in certain lights it looks more like grey or the type of blue seen under an anti reflective coated crystal. It is a nice looking colour and goes very well with the matte grey steel case and the blue strap.  It has a screw down crown, sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating and sturdy uni directional ratchet operated aviation bezel.  Date window at 3 and twelve hour automatic chronograph.  This is an attractive yet functional and professional aviators watch.   Comes with zippered Breitling carry pouch. UK list price is £2,650.  Dimensions are 40 mm excluding crown, 43 mm including crown and 45 mm lug to lug and 15 mm thick. Ref: BRL 133 sold

Used but mint condition Breitling Emergency that is four years old. It is a titanium case and bracelet with black dial with digital displays on the analogue dial. The dial is black. It has got a rotating compass scale bezel and functions other than the time include 1/100th second 24 hour chronograph, count down timer, day and date programmed for 4 years, alarm, second time zone and of course the radio distress beacon. The movement is a Swiss made SuperQuartz thermocompensated quartz electronic analogue and 12/24 hour LCD digital display. It has got a scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating on both sides and is water resistant to 3 ATM including with the transmitter in operation. The Breitling Emergency contains a radio transmitter for civil aviation use which broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency and serves as a back-up for ELT-type airborne beacons. (For military users, Breitling has equipped the Emergency with a miniaturized transmitter operating on the 243 MHz military frequency.) Under normal conditions—flat terrain or calm seas—the signal can be picked up at a range of up to 90 nautical miles (167 km) by search aircraft flying at 20,000 feet (6,000 m). As of 1 February 2009, the Cospas-Sarsat Satellite System will no longer monitor the 121.5/243 MHz frequency; however, the signal transmitted by the Emergency was never strong enough to be picked up by satellite, and Breitling has announced that, as these frequencies will still be monitored by aviation, particularly during the localization phase of a rescue attempt, there are no plans to modify the signal's frequency.  In an incident that demonstrates how the Emergency can be used to save lives, Reuters reports that two British pilots, Squadron Leader Steve Brooks and Flight Lieutenant Hugh Quentin-Smith, crashed their helicopter in Antarctica and were rescued after activating their Breitling Emergency transmitter watches. The two pilots were in their lifeboat when a Chilean Otter aircraft found them after homing in on signals from their watches. The Emergency is available for customers who do not hold a pilot's license, but they must sign an agreement stating that they will bear the full costs of a rescue intervention should they trigger the distress beacon. UK retail price for the watch is £4,555 (US $7,320). It comes complete with all boxes, papers and warranty, it is 4 years old. Also has operating instructions, beacon tester and screwdriver for changing the tester battery. It also comes with the registered owners signed document. When sold, the new owners name and address needs to be registered with Breitling. If the beacon is accidentally triggered, the emergency services are still called out and if it is pressed by mistake, the emergency services charge you for the call out.

Virtually brand new only 2 months old when taken in to stock and hardly worn Breitling Blackbird automatic chronograph. This is the new Blackbird recently re-released due tot he popularity of the older Blackbird which was discontinued a few years ago. The appeal of the Blackbird is that it s designed to look like it is made of titanium with its matt brushed steel finish but it is made of stainless steel so that it still has the weight and substance of a large watch. The new model is upgraded over the old model to more modern larger dimensions and it is a large and substantial watch. The Blackbird is named after the US war plane of the same name which is built from titanium. Breitling have long been associated with aviation and navigational/flight instrument watches.  Their watches are the choice of navigators and pilots alike around the world.  This one is the Breitling Chronomat with a very rare and seldom seen satinised/brushed stainless steel case and bracelet – they are normally highly polished.  It is also rare in that it has a charcoal dial, which is a dial colour not often used by Breitling.  In addition adding to the rarity value, the dial markings are Arabic type numerals which are polished silver and applied.  They normally have Roman numerals or baton markings.  The Chronomat is normally a popular watch and is made even more so with this unique collectible iteration.  The bracelet is the Breitling pilot’s bracelet with fliplock safety clasp.  It has a screw down crown, sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating and sturdy uni directional ratchet operated aviation bezel.  Date window at 3 and twelve hour automatic chronograph.  This is an attractive yet functional and professional aviators watch. Comes with all boxes, papers and chronometer certificate. UK retail price is £5,070 (US $8,125). Dimensions are 44 mm excluding crown, 48 mm including crown and 51 mm lug to lug and 17.5 mm thick.
