Materials Used in Breitling Watch Designs

Breitling watches are made from a variety of materials including stainless steel, 18-karat gold, titanium and precious stones. They also feature straps made from leather, rubber or other synthetic materials.

Watch cases are typically made from stainless steel, titanium, or gold, like the Breitling Navitimer gold model. Gold Breitling watches are typically worth significantly more than other materials like carbon fiber or rubber, which are added for durability.

Watch faces, meanwhile, typically feature sapphire crystal glass, which is a highly scratch-resistant material and commonly used in luxury watches. The bezel of the watch may also be made from stainless steel, titanium, ceramic or gold with precious stones set in. A Breitling diamond watch, for example, features a silver dial with rose gold accents and diamond dot indexes.

Breitling Watch Colours

The material used in your Breitling watch will largely determine the colours of your watch. However, across the many ranges, Breitling’s designs incorporate straps, cases, and watch faces in a variety of colours. For example, the Chronomat B01 is a green face Breitling watch with a silver case and strap. However, to embody its intended wearer, a piece from the Superocean range is typically a blue Breitling watch with a blue or black rubber strap.

Breitling Watch Straps

Whichever material and colour you choose for your Breitling watch, there are additional accessories you can choose from to change the look and feel of your watch. Another watch strap, for example, in a different colour or material can refresh your timepiece’s style.

There are several different options available, including:

Breitling Leather Strap

A classic and timeless option for any watch, a Breitling leather strap offers a luxurious look with comfortable wear.

Mesh Strap

For a more modern and sporty style, mesh straps are available in both stainless steel and titanium materials, depending on the model of your Breitling watch.

Rubber Strap

An excellent choice for diving watches due to their strength and flexibility, rubber straps offer an additional layer of protection against water damage while providing comfort during long days at sea or on land.

Canvas/Nylon Strap

For those looking to add a bit of colour to their wristwatch collection without sacrificing durability can opt for canvas or nylon straps that come in various colours such as tan, blue, black etc.

How Much Is a Breitling Watch?

Should I Buy a New or Pre-Owned Breitling?

Used Breitling watches generally have good resale value due to the brand’s reputation for quality and craftsmanship.
