How about Breitling's sub-top mechanical watch brand introduction

Breitling is the only watch brand in the world whose movements are COSC. In recent years, the top three in the annual ranking of COSC certificates have always been Rolex, Omega and Breitling. In other words, all Breitling movements are precise, reliable, and of good quality. A large part of Breitling's products still use ETA movements, but there is no need to worry about this, after all, Breitling's characteristic is the case, and it is enough that the ETA can be accurately timed. If possible, it is recommended to buy Breitling's own calibre, the B01 movement is indeed honest and practical, with a power reserve of 70 hours, no date exclusion zone, and a 5-year warranty.
 
If you have a good budget, consider the chronograph first, because Breitling is one of the inventors of the chronograph, and their chronograph is very distinctive. For example, the Chronomat 44 belongs to Breitling's flagship series, and Breitling has always built it as the perfect chronograph, equipped with its own calibre 01, large needles and large scales, practical design, lightweight case, 500-meter water resistance, sincere tool watch, belt pin buckle 61,400 yuan, steel belt 72,300 yuan, worthy of key consideration.
 
The Navitimer 01, Breitling's most iconic and iconic model, instantly recognizable from ten meters away, is also the most popular model among Breitling players. When not reading, the slide rule on the outer ring will give people a dazzling feeling, but when looking at the hands to read the time, the slide rule will be automatically blocked. The design of the dial is very layered and does not look cluttered at all. The movement is based on the in-house calibre 01, with a 70-hour power reserve and no date exclusion zone. Keep in mind, though, that the Navitimer is only 30 meters waterproof, which is only waterproof for life. The public price of the belt needle buckle is 65,900 yuan, and the public price of the steel belt is 77,600 yuan.
 
Breitling's watches all have one great characteristic: toughness. Even the entry-level model must have this feature, such as Colt Automatic, large needles and large scales, the lines of the case are very tough, the size is both heavy and comfortable, the materials are real, the chronometer certified movement is precise and durable, plus 200-meter water resistance, the steel belt model is priced at 27,200 yuan, and the cow belt pin buckle is 23,500 yuan.
 
Breitling's quartz movements are generally underestimated, so Breitling's quartz watches are also worth recommending, such as the B79 super quartz movement used in the Aerospace EVO, which has been chronometer-certified for quartz watches, and has an additional temperature compensation function, plus a titanium steel case, which is exquisite and functional. Generally speaking, it is common to buy a Breitling quartz watch and use it for 20 years with proper maintenance.
