Breitling’s Colt, an icon and bestseller for over 30 years, has been given a makeover for 2014. It still has its military look but its dial adorned with concentric grooves now comes in several colours: “Volcano” black, “Mariner” blue and “Stratus” silver. The date display alone at 3 o’ clock has a white background. Two large luminescent hour and minute hands glide over equally large luminescent indices and a minute track. A slim red-tipped central seconds hand points to the seconds. The COSC-certified self-winding Breitling 17 calibre brings to life the time and date functions. The movement nestles in the heart of the 44mm steel case topped by a rotating graduated bezel and the four markers Breitling is famous for. The Colt collection also features chronograph, quartz and ladies’ watches. Price: 2,790 CHF (rubber strap) – 2,850 CHF (leather strap) – 3,260 (steel bracelet)
