Breitling, Watch News Breitling Introduces the Airwolf Professional
Breitling is of course known for their automatic Swiss-made aviation timepieces, but they make some great quartz watches, as well. The Airwolf is the newest addition to their Professional line and has the following features:
- Alarm.
- Stopwatch with a resolution of 1/100th of a second and split times.
- Countdown timer.
- Dual time zones (with independent alarms).
- Perpetual calendar.
Although this appears to be a pretty standard feature set for a digital watch, the Breitling Professional line is anything but standard. They are very high quality watches with, in my opinion, some of the most distinctive styling out there.
The Airwolf is clearly related to the B-1, however the Airwolf’s bezel is directional while the B-1’s bezel provides an additional analog countdown timer. The Airwolf’s design is also slightly different, and the pushers are ergonomically curved. Overall, I think the Airwolf is a better looking watch, but both are beautiful.
The Airwolf has a glare-proof sapphire crystal, and is available with either a blue dial and leather strap, or a black dial and a steel bracelet. There’s not a lot of information available yet, but what there is you can find on Breitling’s site.
