19/01/2015 editor

The Breitling Transocean Chronograph Edition was released towards the end of 2014 with a limit of just 2,000 pieces made available worldwide.

The Transocean Chronograph Edition offers exactly what we have come to expect from Breitling and its high quality watches. The Transocean Chronograph exudes a blend of excitement and refinement. The dial bears two retro-styled counters and a date window at the 6 is decorated with a twin-zone sliver toned design, applied hour-markers and the initial B appearing in 18K gold. Along with the typical flamboyance we expect from Breitling the Transocean holds a more concealed surprise, turning the watch reveals a steel case with a double back protector providing space for a personalised engraving and a sapphire crystal. This allows for a chance to admire the eminence performance of the manufacture Breitling.

The Transocean Chronograph Edition was inspired by a star model from 1958: a precise watch that was shock resistant, non-magnetic and also water resistant that admirably accompanied the boom in intercontinental air travel. The Transocean looks to reflect the spirit of great journeys and extravagant long haul private aircraft.

With a two-toned dial, vintage- style counters and a double case back finished with a cover: the Transocean Chronograph Edition limited series captures the classic style of the Transocean line in a highly elite spirit. The Transocean Chronograph Edition is a tribute to Breitling’s honoured ties with the chronograph.

The Transocean Chronograph Edition limited series is available with an original steel mesh bracelet, or alternatively a leather or crocodile leather strap. Typically of Breitling watches, the Transocean Chronograph Edition, has been Chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute therefore, the watch will maintain high levels of precision in a range of conditions. This lucrative piece with only 2,000 being issued for production will come at the cost of around £7,000.
