Technical and visual details of the Chrono Cockpit
Breitling's range of pilot's watches are diverse with many variations on offer.
Watches of the Chrono Cockpit collection are a standout due to their discreet dimensions, which particularly appeal to prospective buyers who don’t want to wear a huge timepiece on their wrist. Nevertheless, the Chrono Cockpit is still a fully-fledged
tool watch with many useful
functions and complications. The designers have succeeded in balancing functionality and size with a smaller diameter of 39 mm.
The connection to the Windrider Cockpit becomes clear if you take a look at the dial. However, it is more elaborately designed and has many additional details. The arrangement of the totalisers at 6, 9 and 12 o'clock is similar to the Chronomat and Colt series. The tonneau-shaped date display is located at 3 o'clock and is accompanied by the Breitling logo on the right side. The outer edge of the dial is decorated with a tachymeter scale. The unidirectional rotating bezel helps you to further adjust and measure time intervals precisely. The pushers for the stop function are located above or below the onion-shaped crown, depending on the model. The
movement of the Chrono Cockpit is a
Breitling 13 Calibre. The basis for this is the Valjoux 7750 before it is then refined by Breitling. The 7750 is considered to be one of the most solid chronograph movements ever made and has been produced with minimal modifications since 1973.

Breitling's close connection to aviation saved Breitling from crisis
The
Chrono Cockpit from Breitling comes from a family steeped in tradition and has left a long-lasting impression on them. When Ernest Schneider took over the business at Breitling at the end of the 1980s, the company, like the entire Swiss watch industry, was undergoing a period of major change. Quartz watches bust on to the market and even threatened to dethrone mechanical watches. But Schneider continued to hold on to what Breitling watches stood for and strengthened the brand in doing so. The focus on
workmanship and precision and the brand image centred on
pilot's watch were vital in steering the company through these turbulent times. This calculated approach paid off. With Ernest Schneider as boss and owner, many series hit the market that paid tribute to the long association with aviation. These include the
Chrono Cockpit series, from which the
Breitling Cockpit evolved in 2010.
