 Breitling is a brand of Swiss watches from the Canton of Jura. It produces Certified Chronometers designed primarily for aviation use, though most frequently worn as high-end luxury watches. Breitling's watches feauture aviation functions, though their chronograph functions have become more of status symbols than practically applied tools. They typically have a large face (e.g. Breitling for Bentley Motors edition has a 48 mm case diameter) for better reading and to allow to display more information on the analog dials. Many models feature an automatic winding movements that use no electronic components. Many Breitling watches are equipped with additional functions such as the fly-back function, split-second, moon phase, date display and other complications.
All Breitling watches are manufactured in Switzerland and are made from Swiss components. Raw movements are obtained from ETA and Valjoux and are modified in the Breitling Chronometrie Workshops before undergoing extreme COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certification.
Breitling was a sponsor of Team Bentley during their Le Mans 24 Hours campaign, running from 2001-2003. To commemorate this event, Breitling created the Limited Edition Breitling Bentley 24 Le Mans Watch.
