Breitling Avenger Automatic 42 watch A17328101L1A1

What better colour to choose to fit in with the festivities than a Christmas tree-green dial colour? What’s more, this universal colour is also incredibly sporty for enjoying the whole year through. It also pairs well with all attire. Whether smart or casual, your loved one can make full use of the Avenger watch’s robust stainless steel bracelet, which easily doubles up as a dressy statement during the evening. The 42mm stainless steel model features a micro-adjustable clasp that enables for the bracelet to guarantee comfort 24/7. Featuring all the unmistakable Avenger characteristics, the watch looks particularly mission-ready with its luminous hour markers and hands, its legible date window, strong sapphire glass front, and 300-meter water resistance.

Breitling Navitimer watch AB0139211B1P1

Every Breitling enthusiast’s collection calls out for a Navitimer watch. The instantly recognisable features of the Navitimer DNA are the slide rule bezel, used for air-bound calculations and the classic piston-style push pieces that reside at 2 and 4 o’clock on the side of the case. This steel model measures 41mm and features a classic black dial with chronograph counters in silver. The Navitimer was once worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts but is now loved the world over by those with a soft spot for pilot’s watches in general. The icon, first released over 70 years ago, has changed very little since then. A flattened slide rule bezel, domed glass and a mix of polished and brushed case features bring a sense of nostalgia to the wrist. Meanwhile modern technology in the form of the automatic Calibre 01 guarantees uncompromised accuracy.

Breitling Chronomat Automatic watch P32398101C1S1

An ice blue dial like this Breitling Chronomat watch perfectly captures the cold crisp winter months in its legible display but looks equally as cool in the summer months too. The watch, crafted from stainless steel, measures a diameter of 40mm and combines the unmissable rider tabs of the Chronomat bezel with an innovative GMT function for those who travel often. Christmas gift ideas don’t come more practical than travel watch companions. This 200-meter water-resistant watch comes fitted with the Calibre 32 movement at its heart, providing a useful power reserve of 42 hours once fully wound. It also comes fitted on a dressy stainless steel bracelet for enjoying those more formal occasions.

Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Tribute To Vought F4U Corsair watch A233801A1C1X1

As its name suggests, this Classic AVI watch is inspired by a vintage aircraft. The Vought F4U Corsair was a naval aircraft that had to make tricky take-offs and landings, meaning that speed and lift were paramount. It became the first single-engine fighter to crack the 400 mph mark and went down in history. As a homage to this naval aircraft, this true pilot’s watch from Breitling is designed to stand the daily rigours of life and more. Its 42mm stainless steel case provides optimal grip through gloved hands and is powered by a chronometer-certified movement in the form of the Calibre 32. It promises a power reserve of 48 hours. This Breitling watch also comes with a topstitched calfskin strap that nods to the classic flight gear once used.

Breitling Top Time B01 Triumph watch AB01764A1C1X1

This Breitling watch is considered a key collectable and harks back to a period when the Top Time became an icon for the wrist. The 1960s represented fun, freedom and energy. Sportscars and motorcycles were the thing to own and to accompany one, an unconventional chronograph. The collection represents several collaborative projects between Breitling and some of the coolest names in wheels. If the man in your life has a keen interest in motorsports, this ice blue-dialled Top Time watch, complete with retro logo font and the mushroom push-pieces on the side of the case, is sure to impress him this Christmas. The Triumph emblem resides at 6 o’clock and the watch is powered by an automatic movement, protected inside a steel case water resistant to 100 meters. Inspired by a vintage dashboard gauge, this Top Time watch boasts a speed-measuring tachymeter scale and the instantly recognisable black-filled squircle counters on the dial.

Breitling Chronomat GMT 40 A32398101C1A1

This Chronomat watch has a parred-down look – a design that whispers rather than shouts. That said, its design is easily recognised thanks to the ionic rider tabs that sit at 3 and 9 o’clock on a steel bezel. The model presents the time on a dark blue dial with luminous elements and a vibrant red GMT hand with an arrow tip that can be used in combination with a 24-hour scale on the flange to track home time. All of the features on this rich blue dial are protected by a scratch-resistant and anti-glare piece of sapphire crystal. The automatic movement powering this watch is enclosed behind a smooth, unadorned closed caseback and the watch also comes fitted on a matching steel bracelet.

Breitling Superocean III Automatic 44 watch A17376211B1A1

The Superocean watch is a perfect gift for your loved one if he frequently takes to the water, or if he just loves the unmistakable look of Breitling’s dive watches. The model features a broad diameter of 44mm and conveys the essence of the 1960s scuba diving watch era. This clearcut dive watch features a black dial with Super-LumiNova-filled elements and bold hands that demand attention. The Slow Motion watch (as it was named) now features a ceramic inlaid bezel, a 300-meter water-resistant steel case, and a unidirectional rotating bezel to measure elapsed time when underwater.

The model presents the time on an alluring pink mother-of-pearl dial with luminous hour markers and hands. The shimmering pink tones of the pearly dial are, of course, protected underneath one of Breitling’s famous anti-glare sapphire crystal glass fronts. Completing the perfect finishing touches to this lady’s Navitimer watch are its beaded bezel and alluring seven-link stainless steel bracelet.

Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 watch BTL-2162

Finish this year in style with a dazzling Breitling Chronomat watch for the special lady in your life. The watch measures a 36mm in diameter and has been crafted from a mix of stainless steel and 18ct rose gold. The sporty-chic design elements of the Chronomat watch beg for attention as do the 12 glistening diamonds placed against a mother-of-pearl dial. To finish this elegant timepiece, the Chronomat watch is completed on the famous Rouleaux bracelet in steel and rose gold.
