Breitling Professional Endurance

Post by koimaster » September 8th 2020, 3:10pm

Described as the ultimate athleisure watch, the Breitling Professional Endurance Pro made its entrance this afternoon during the brand’s second online webcast. Modern, strong and available in a fantastic selection of colours, this new release is an important step for Breitling as they re-enter themselves back into the professional sports watch game while still remaining entirely faithful to their original DNA.

Just as their motto “Instruments for Professionals” describes, the Breitling Professional watch collection was designed especially for professionals of all kinds in their field. All pieces within the series are super sporty, super lightweight and powered by one of the brand’s iconic SuperQuartz movements, a thermocompensated calibre that is 10 times more accurate than standard quartz. The Breitling Professional Endurance Pro see’s the brand dive even further into the world of sport with a design engineered exclusively for professional athletes like that of the Breitling Triathlon Squad. The squad consists of Jan Froderno, Chris McCormack and Daniela Ryf, all multiple Iron Man World Champions.

Yawner is right.

Am I wrong to think that once that trust fund baby has his Rolex, he goes for something like a Breitling to improve his "street cred" amongst the other watch aficionados in his clique. The clique only being aware of Breitling because their dads have one (or that bachelor uncle with the hot chicks he brings over).

My nephews each have their Rolex, the only watch I've ever seen them wear. Now I'm watching to see if they get another watch and what kind it will be. No, I'm not that bachelor uncle and they haven't the slightest interest in any of my watches. I'm just not that cool. Or rich.

Busy, busy, busy. Breitling subscribes to the "more is better" theory on too many of their watches.

Lots of swings and misses for Breitling the past couple of years as it's throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. This model is a miracle: A new watch that costs thousands that looks like it should cost $350.

First of all, the mention of the COSC criteria for this one being -4 to +6 spd is a load of bollocks. That’s the norm for mechanical chronometers, not quartz.

Second, I can’t see what exactly does this watch offer that a way cheaper Certina wouldn’t. You sure as shit wouldn’t notice the difference in accuracy between this and a COSC-certified one with Precidrive.

What beats it? Any Citizen Promaster Radio-Controlled in titanium, said Certinas, and - frankly - any G-Shock.

Pricey toy that looks like the bastard child of a Luminox and the Longines Hydroconquest, only nowhere near as good-looking as a Hydroconquest.

Fuck, no.
