Breitling Skyracer



The Skyracer is not only eyecatching because of its exceptional technical look featuring a black dial, red hands and a broad red or black rubber-molded bezel. This selfwinding chronograph representing the peak of mechanical functionality is also distinguished by its exclusive mechanism enabling a double visualization of the measured times. The 60-minute totalizer with center pointer guarantees peerless readability of any measurement under one hour. For longer durations, a single two-hand counter at 9 o’clock shows both the hours and minutes. This means the time elapsed is read off just as one reads the time, instantly and with no risk of confusion. This exemplary efficiency is reinforced by a slide rule enabling simple and direct handling. The resolutely aviation-oriented vocation of the Skyracer is also highlighted on the caseback, which carries a reminder of the essential symbols of the Ground Air Visual Signal Code.
