BREITLING FATHER’S DAY EDIT

The Adventurous Dad – The Aerospace B70 Orbiter Titanium

The  chronograph for adventurers—complete with a living piece of history. On March 21, 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones achieved the first nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in a balloon. Landing in the Egyptian desert, their Breitling Orbiter 3 journey covered 45,633 km in 19 days, 21 hours, and 47 minutes. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of this feat, Breitling has released the Aerospace B70 Orbiter. This timepiece, with its vibrant orange dial mirroring the capsule’s color and adorned with the mission logo, is presented on a titanium bracelet or a black rubber strap. Best of all, each special edition watch contains a living piece of history: A segment of the original balloon, visible through the open caseback.

The Classic, Elegant Dad – Navitimer Automatic GMT 41

The Navitimer is a true classic and one of the most recognizable watches ever made. What began in 1952 as a tool for pilots has gone on to mean something profound to every single person who has had this timepiece along on their personal journey. The Navitimer Automatic and Automatic GMT 41 distill the iconic look, omitting the chronograph yet preserving a balanced dial composition. Further refining the collection, the notched bezel was incorporated for a contemporary touch, and alternating polished and brushed finishes add a dynamic play of light. Straps in alligator leather and bracelets with a seamless butterfly clasp offer comfort and convenience. The palette includes colorful dials, encased in a choice of stainless steel or 18k red gold.

The Fun-Loving Dad – The Top Time B21 Ford Mustang

The 1960s was a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether cruising on a motorcycle or revving up a sportscar, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Breitling felt this change of pace and set out to design an unconventional chronograph that would capture the verve of era. He called it the Top Time. That spirited tradition continues today. Breitling partners with some of the coolest names in wheels to create its Top Time designs. The first-generation Ford Mustang, produced from 1964 to 1974, became the car of choice for hitting the road in hip 1960s America. This living legend is still in production, but car buffs know that the coolest of all were those very first models that captured the freewheeling spirit of the sixties. The Top Time B21 Ford Mustang features the colors of its classic-car counterpart as well as a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and contrasting “squircle” subdials that give the feel of vintage dashboard gauges.
