Breitling Colt

Breitling Colt is an entry-level luxury timepiece from Swiss watch company Breitling SA. The Colt has a stainless steel case with a set of four bezel rider tabs, which are a Breitling signature design detail first used on the Breitling Chronomat in 1984.^[1] Similar to the Chronomat and the Navitimer, the Colt was originally designed as a military watch, emphasizing reliability and legibility.^[2][3]

Breitling Colt chronograph details

Breitling Colt models are powered by COSC-certified automatic movements or high-precision quartz calibers. The Chronomat Colt Automatic 41 uses the ETA 2824-based Breitling 17 movement.^[4] The Colt Chronograph Automatic uses the caliber B13, which is a COSC-certified version of the ETA 7750.^[5]

The Breitling Colt Skyracer uses Breitlight, a material said to be three times lighter than titanium and significantly more scratch-resistant than stainless steel.^[6]

Breitling ceased production of the Colt in 2020.^[7] Hodinkee reported that the Colt “blended a sort of military appeal with the basic philosophy of a dive watch.”^[4]
