Breitling Montbrillant 01
The Breitling Montbrillant 01 is reminiscent of the company's traditions
The Breitling Montbrillant 01 is based on the shapes that were common in Breitling watches in the 1940s and 1950s. The Montbrillant line has its origins in the Breitling Navitimer model family. That's why it also has typical characteristics of this iconic pilot's watch. In addition to the popular stopwatch function, this is the aviation slide rule. That's why the Breitling Montbrillant 01 is an excellent combination of tradition and luxury with functionality and sportiness.
A nod to history The Breitling Montbrillant 01 received its name as a reminder of the history of the Swiss company. Between 1892 and 1979, Breitling's studios were located on a plot of land on Ruelle Montbrillant, in the middle of the watchmaking town of La-Chaux-de-Fonds. Many of the groundbreaking innovations in watchmaking found their way out into the world from here.
The design of the Breitling Montbrillant 01 is reminiscent of watch designs from the 1940s and 1950s. At this time, slim hands were common in the traditional Breitling company. The red hundredths of a second were also a characteristic feature. On the Montbrillant 01 they are located in the middle of the dial. The name Breitling adorns the face of the watch in curved letters. These letters were common for the company logo at the time. The wearer can see what the manufactory building looked like on the case back. It's engraved there.
