Key Features

• Breitling B20 Manufacture Movement: This self-winding mechanical movement is developed and produced in-house by Breitling, ensuring superior accuracy and longevity. It features a 70-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to keep time even when not worn for nearly three days. The movement is meticulously crafted and assembled by Breitling’s skilled watchmakers, reflecting the brand’s commitment to horological excellence.
• 42mm Stainless Steel Case: The robust yet elegant case is made from high-grade stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a substantial presence on the wrist. Its 42mm diameter strikes a balance between classic proportions and modern wearability, fitting comfortably on most wrist sizes while maintaining a confident, masculine profile.
• Vivid Blue Dial: The deep blue dial enhances legibility while adding a bold, nautical character. It features luminescent hour markers and hands for clear visibility in low-light or underwater conditions. The sunray finish adds subtle depth and dimension, catching the light with every movement of the wrist.
• Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: Designed for safe dive timing, the bezel rotates only counterclockwise to prevent accidental movement that could extend dive time. It is marked with clear minute indicators for precise tracking. The stainless steel construction ensures durability, while the knurled edge provides a secure grip even when wet.
• Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating: The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures long-term clarity and protection. The anti-reflective treatment reduces glare, improving readability in bright environments such as sunlight or underwater. This feature is especially valuable for divers and outdoor enthusiasts who rely on quick, accurate time checks.
• Water Resistance to 200 Meters (660 Feet): Engineered for serious diving, this watch meets the demands of recreational underwater activities while maintaining Breitling’s standards for performance and safety. It is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving, though not intended for professional saturation diving.
• Stainless Steel Bracelet with Folding Clasp: The integrated bracelet provides a secure and comfortable fit, with a safety folding clasp to prevent accidental opening during wear. The clasp includes a secure locking mechanism and is designed for easy adjustment, ensuring a snug fit over a wetsuit or under a sleeve.
