As a family-owned company, Breitling is one of the few remaining independent watchmakers in Switzerland. Originating in 1884, Breitling is the official supplier of the world's aviation industry, which is a testament to its precision and functionality. Breitling is the only watch brand in the world to have all of its movements chronometer-certified (COSC) and is one of the few watch brands to develop and produce self-winding chronograph movements in-house. Favored by professional divers, the Breitling "Avenger" series of divers has a rugged appearance and is designed with the needs of divers in mind. The dial of the watch is well-designed and compact, and all functions are displayed on the dial at a glance, reflecting Breitling's roots in the aviation industry.
