Breitling Introduces New Colt GMT+ Divers Watch

Officially introduced at the 2010 Baselworld watch industry event, this Breitling men’s automatic diving watch is undeniably geared towards power and originality on the wrist — exactly the kind of features that will likely appeal more strongly than ever to pilots and travelers, in addition to divers. The Breitling Colt GMT+ comes equipped with a moderately-proportioned 41.3 mm stainless steel case and a stainless steel bezel adorned with raised numerals and hour markers highlighted by the contrast between polished and satin-brushed surfaces.

The exclusive new, integrated rubber strap on this Breitling model fits seamlessly into the case while accentuating its sleek lines; it is fitted with a pushbutton-operated seamless clasp and an extension piece that is adjustable in a few seconds. For those likely to skip the diving who want a consistent, polished steel look, the watch also comes in a version with Breitling’s Professional stainless steel bracelet.

Founded in the same year that coordinated universal time standard was established (1884), and a well-established partner of world aviation, Breitling watch company has consistently provided models enabling simultaneous read-off of the time in several parts of the globe, such as the famous Unitime introduced in the 1950s. The Colt GMT+ is a particularly striking example of this expertise. In addition to local time, this self-winding watch displays another time zone by means of a second hour hand with a red triangular tip, combined with a 24-hour graduation on the inner bezel ring. This ultra-readable and extremely practical system serves to tell day from night at first glance.

This sturdy Breitling watch is equally at ease on all five continents and also dives confidently into oceans the world over thanks to an impressive degree of water resistance guaranteed to depths of 500 meters (1,660 ft). These aquatic virtues are emphasized by the graduated scale marking off the first 15 minutes on the unidirectional rotating bezel. This model is equipped with a mechanical movement that is chronometer-certified – as are all the movements gravitating within the Breitling watch universe.

The Breitling Colt GMT+ is not only distinguished by its innate functionality and sturdiness, but also by its distinctive design that is at once sporty, elegant and contemporary, reflecting a universe dedicated to performance.
