Transocean Chronograph Caliber 01

The New Transocean: A First Class Takeoff
In the 1950s and 1960s, Breitling shared the finest hours in the amazing saga of the conquest of the skies. The famous Navitimer, launched in 1952, rapidly established itself as the cult watch among pilots and other devotees of aviation. The brand supplied onboard chronographs for the propeller planes and subsequently the jet planes of numerous aircraft manufacturers and airlines, thus becoming the "official supplier to world aviation".

In 1958, building upon the reputation for excellence acquired by its instruments for professionals, Breitling launched a new model named Transocean. "Men who have faith in the mighty liners of the sky will trust the Transocean, for behind every Breitling wristwatch lies the experience of aviation precision" – ran the slogan.
This high-performance shock-resistant, antimagnetic and super-watertight model was also distinguished by its extremely precise chronometer-certified selfwinding movement. Endowed with an understated and refined design, it soon became a great success and proudly accompanied the boom in transatlantic travel, in an era when the famous Boeing 707, DC-8 and Caravelle aircraft – three symbols of speed, comfort and security – were bringing continents closer together than ever.

A Limited Edition

As a prelude to the launch of the series-produced models, Breitling is offering collectors a special edition of this new chronograph, to be issued in a worldwide series of 2,000 pieces in stainless steel and 200 pieces in rose goldgold.

It is available in two dial variations – Mercury Silver or Black – and comes fitted with a choice of leather or crocodile leather strap, or a woven steel bracelet.

The future regular production pieces will have a solid caseback, but this limited edition comes with a sapphire crystal to view the Breitling-made caliber 01.

   belli.., ma il look è un pò troppo sfruttato..!!

Si è vero non spicca per originalità, comunque è quel design classico che va sempre.
Un modello del genere ci dovrebbe essere in ogni collezione delle varie maison, poi uno
sceglie in base alle proprie risorse.
