It’s clearly a direct descendant of Breitling’s legendary watches from the 1930s and 1940s. Inside the steel case with a rotating bezel and hands is the Breitling Caliber 17. With its two-way rotor winding system, it can keep ticking for over 40 hours. You can choose between a black or blue dial, and the COSC certified watch has a solid screw-down case, available with either a steel bracelet or a leather strap.
The dial is black with cream-colored scales and hands.The black face with cream looks way better than the blue face, and the blue coating adds a touch of sophistication.
Breitling watches are usually pretty thick and heavy because of their materials. The case of Breitling watches is fairly chunky, and with the solid metal links, it’s totally on par with Rolex‘s steel watches. That’s what a practical brand delivers: straightforward quality.

I love this watch . You can’t beat the price. It’s well made and looks amazing. My wife likes it so much that she wants one just like it! Couldn’t be happier this purchase.
