About the Item

The Breitling Transocean Unitime Chronograph, reference AB0510, with its white dial, is a sophisticated and versatile timepiece that seamlessly combines the functionality of a chronograph with the convenience of a world time function. The Transocean collection is one of Breitling's most sophisticated and elegant. Inspired by 1950s and 60s chronograph designs, it brings the brand's unmatched sporting watch prowess to new audiences, powered by Breitling's remarkable chronograph movements. This Unitime Pilot features the company's superb world timer complication, first developed in the 1950s but now improved with in-house calibre B05 (based on the groundbreaking B01). The high-frequency automatic chronograph movement allows the wearer to shift time zones with incredible ease via the crown, which controls the cities, hour hands and 24-hour ring simultaneously. The watch features a robust stainless steel case, exemplifying durability and a timeless aesthetic. The polished and brushed finishes on the case demonstrate Breitling's attention to detail and craftsmanship. Powering this timepiece is an automatic movement, reflecting Breitling's commitment to precision and reliability. The movement likely incorporates chronograph complications, a date function, and the intricate world time module. The watch is likely paired with a high-quality leather strap, combining comfort with a touch of luxury. The choice of the strap complements the overall design, making it suitable for both formal occasions and everyday wear. The inclusion of the original box enhances the value and presentation of the watch. The box serves as both a protective case and a showcase for the timepiece when not in use. The Breitling Transocean Unitime Chronograph is a statement of contemporary sophistication, offering a blend of precision timekeeping and practical functionality for the modern traveler. This watch is not just an accessory; it's a companion for those who appreciate the artistry and innovation that Breitling brings to the world of horology. 46mm Diameter Box and instruction booklet included

Breitling

For pilots and others in love with flight, no brand is more closely associated with the world of aviation than Breitling. From the beginning, watchmaker Léon Breitling, who opened his shop in the Swiss Jura Mountains in 1884, was focused on chronographs and their uses in the burgeoning fields of sports, science and industry.

After Léon’s death, in 1914, his son Gaston continued along his father’s trajectory. An early fan of aeronautics, Gaston introduced one of the first wrist-worn chronographs, a welcome upgrade for pilots used to executing complex maneuvers while juggling a pocket watch.

In 1934, Gaston’s son Willy made another leap in the chronograph’s evolution, patenting the first wristwatch with two pushers — one to start and stop elapsed time and one to reset — a feature now taken for granted.

But perhaps the most significant development under Willy’s leadership was the Chronomat watch. Introduced in 1942, it featured a patented rotating slide-rule bezel for making calculations on the fly. This innovation led to the 1952 creation of the brand’s signature timepiece: the Breitling Navitimer.

Designed in partnership with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, it was adopted as the official watch of the AOPA in 1959 and remains the world’s most iconic pilot’s watch. Not content to rule just the air, Breitling developed dive watches as well, including the Superocean, released in 1957, and the Transocean, which followed in 1958. The house also took its show on the road, producing dashboard clocks and then watches in partnership with luxury automaker Bentley.

The Navitimer, however, still reigns supreme among pilots everywhere. Given the stature earned by Top Gun since its release — as well as the excitement around Top Gun: Maverick — it's never too late to pick up a vintage Breitling Top Gun Navitimer, displaying the official logo of the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, for yourself or your favorite wingman.
