BREITLING COLT 44

By TLex The COLT, which is BREITLING's entry level sports / divers model has remained pretty much the same for the last decade or more, in which time it has only periodically received the odd update, such as a new bracelet, dial or some other minor aesthetic tweak. A different story today; neither face-lift nor overall, but an entirely new design. BREITLING have gone back to the drawing board with the new COLT collection.



The changes start with its turning bezel, which features a new sophisticated shape and stamped numerals, and continues to its new 44mm case and new dials adorned with rounded numerals exclusively designed for the new COLT. The watch's water-resistance remains at 500 meters (1,650 ft), which is typical of all BREITLING Areomarine models.



From BREITLING For all devotees of top-flight achievements, Breitling has equipped the Colt 44 with the best of its electronic technology in the form a SuperQuartz™ caliber ten times more accurate than standard quartz movements. The polished and satin-brushed finishes highlight the distinctive shape of the case and bezel. The sturdy construction, the screw-locked crown and the thick sapphire crystal (glareproofed on both sides) guarantee exceptional water resistance to a depth of 500 meters (1,650 ft).
