BREITLING AT DUBAI WATCH WEEK

0

Breitling will be showcasing its latest collection at Dubai Watch Week, which is taking place from 20th – 24th November at Gate Village, DIFC. Inspired by their pioneering aviation heritage, the recently launched Avenger collection will take centre stage alongside a number of Limited Edition models, designed exclusively for the Middle East market.

The Avenger Collection

Breitling has redesigned the Avenger – a collection as bold and robust as its name suggests. It joins two other collections – the Aviator 8 and the iconic Navitimer – in Breitling’s Air universe and marks an evolution of the brand’s pilot’s watches, once again confirming its status as the world’s leading manufacturer of aviation-related watches. Like the Navitimer and Aviator 8 collections, the Avenger has its own personality. It was created as a reliable companion for aerial adventurers who want to achieve something outstanding and unexpected. It’s completely at home on the wrist of a drone specialist mastering the skies from the ground, a pilot in the cockpit of a supersonic jet, or an aviation pioneer who has long been committed to challenging the conventional boundaries of flight.

The Avenger originally debuted in 2001, and with the relaunch, Breitling has updated the collection and positioned it in a proud and unique place in its Air brand universe. The new collection represents nothing less than the transition of one of Breitling’s boldest collections into the era of modern aviation. The Avenger has clearly staked out its own territory at Breitling. It introduces the modern performance-­inspired pilot’s watch with pure Breitling DNA to the next generation of men and women of action, purpose, and style. These committed individuals, from pioneering pilots and commercial aviation leaders to influencers and style-drivers, appreciate strikingly fresh watches that still respect the brand’s design codes. Every day, they challenge the ordinary with their exploits in the air, from space travel to precision aerial performance and the new-age challenge of drone competitions.

Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 Limited Edition

The Breitling Navitimer has been the world’s most highly regarded pilot’s watch since 1952. The Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 Limited Edition has be produced exclusively for the Middle East region. Limited to 250 pieces, the new Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 in green livery, combines the historic appeal of a true icon with the refinement of a sophisticated, contemporary timepiece and represents a stunning addition to the Navitimer family.

The Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 is available in a stainless-steel case with a striking green dial. The hour markers, as well as the hour and minute hands, are coated with Super-LumiNova®, a luminescent material that ensures easy reading in all lighting conditions. The watch also features a red-tipped central seconds hand, and there is a date window at the 6 o’clock position on the dial. The stainless-steel model is presented on either an alligator strap (with pin or folding clasp) whose color perfectly complements the dial, or on a stainless-steel Navitimer bracelet with a folding clasp.

Aviator 8 Etihad Limited Edition

To celebrate Breitling’s partnership with Etihad Airways, Breitling introduced the Aviator 8 Etihad Limited Edition in black steel. The model, which has been co-designed with Etihad Airways is limited to 500 pieces and complete with numbers in the Arabic language.
