Chronoliner Limited Series – An instrument in gold

• 18K red gold Chronoliner now available in a 250-piece limited series 
• Ten models reserved for Middle East customers

Dubai, UAE, June 28, 2016:   Luxury Swiss watchmaker and aviation chronograph specialist, Breitling has unveiled a 250-piece limited series of their Chronoliner watch. With an 18K red gold case, the Chronoliner features a caseback bearing the stylized planes that were a long-time Breitling signature. With ten models available in the Middle East, the limited edition model evokes the spirit of aviation conveyed through an original and timeless style.  

Adorned with a bezel in ultra-hard, scratch-resistant, high-tech black ceramic, the Chronoliner special model combines materials and colors in an original way. Middle East customers can choose from a rubber strap which echoes the design of the steel mesh Breitling Aero Classic bracelet or a leather or crocodile leather strap that further accentuates the gold and black contrast. 

Now available in Breitling Boutiques and stores across the Middle East, the Chronoliner is an ideal travel companion that combines the two functions most useful to aviation professionals and globetrotters: a chronograph to measure flight times and a triple time zone display. The second time zone indication in 24-hour mode (useful for distinguishing between day and night) is indicated by a red-tipped central hand, while the rotating bezel serves to read off a third time zone, also in 24-hour mode. 

Commenting on the model’s arrival in the region, Aed Adwan, Breitling Middle East said: “The Chronoliner offers a blend of luxury and performance in a red gold limited series that will appeal to our Middle East aviation aficionados. With its timeless look and triple time zone chronograph, the Chronoliner has asserted itself as the authentic flight captain’s watch.  In addition to being the perfect companion for our aviation professionals, the model is also well suited to our jet-setting Middle East customers who frequently travel for both business and pleasure”.

The self-winding chronograph movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), ensures maximum precision and reliability. Its functions are clearly displayed on a dial worthy of the finest flight instruments, with counters at 12, 9 and 6 o’clock.
