Breitling watches are a great example of the Swiss know-how in time-keeping accuracy. Their watch movements are tested by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), which is quite strict, as the watches must go through rigorous testing. It is the only way that they can receive their chronometer certification. In this article, we focus on Breitling watches with that specific capacity.
What are the Chronograph Models that Breitling produces?
There are several models of watches produced by Breitling, and they all feature the chronograph option. The difference between a chronograph and a normal watch is that on top of being a display watch, it can also be used as a stopwatch (chronometer).
Below, you will find a short description of six different models, including the features and functions of Chrono24’s trendy Breitling watches.

The Models and Where to Wear Them
The Chronomat
This is a line that has been refreshed only two years ago, in 2020. However, you can tell that it is a Chronomat, as it remains true to the original edition from 1984. They are famous for their stacked cylindrical-link bracelets, called “rouleaux.” The Chronomat is a watch that you can wear any day of the week, for any occasion.
The Professional
Although this is definitely a luxury watch, there can be no doubt that it was built to endure the harshest environments. If you are an amateur of trekking or take part in various adventures, then this is the Breitling model you will want to wear on your wrist. It comes in various colours, to highlight your work intensity, though various tones.
The Navitimer
This is a watch that is appreciated by anyone, including those specializing in nautical activities. In fact, it is used by pilots for quick calculations, through its slide rule bezel. Of course, it also possesses a chronograph, to couple with it. It is often worn to head onto the sea, but also by many who simply want to have the best quality watch on their wrist, since this is the flagship watch by Breitling.
The Superocean Heritage
The most classic versions are elegant display watches, of the highest quality. All of them can be used in the water, hence their name. This is a great diving watch, but its elegance makes it the perfect element to wear on your wrist, on any special evening, as well.
The Avenger
This model is the one that doesn’t use any precious metal on it. However, some include titanium options. It can be used every day and features a military look.
The Aviator 8
As the name says it, this model was made for plane pilots. It shows that Breitling is not only a sea watch, but also one for those who prefer to fly into the air.
