Breitling Colt
Breitling Colt is an entry-level luxury timepiece from Swiss watch company Breitling SA. The Colt has a stainless steel case with a set of four bezel rider tabs, which are a Breitling signature design detail first used on the Breitling Chronomat in 1984.[1] Similar to the Chronomat and the Navitimer, the Colt was originally designed as a military watch, emphasizing reliability and legibility.[2][3]
Breitling Colt models are powered by COSC-certified automatic movements or high-precision quartz calibers. The Chronomat Colt Automatic 41 uses the ETA 2824-based Breitling 17 movement.[4] The Colt Chronograph Automatic uses the caliber B13, which is a COSC-certified version of the ETA 7750.[5]
The Breitling Colt Skyracer uses Breitlight, a material said to be three times lighter than titanium and significantly more scratch-resistant than stainless steel.[6]
Breitling ceased production of the Colt in 2020.[7] Hodinkee reported that the Colt “blended a sort of military appeal with the basic philosophy of a dive watch.”[4]
