Breitling Exospace B55: The New Connected Chronograph for Pilots (with Video)
Rounding out a year in which we’ve seen several traditional Swiss watch brands release decidedly nontraditional “connected” watches �� most recently TAG Heuer and Movado �� Breitling enters the arena this week with the launch of the Breitling Exospace B55. As fans of the brand have come to expect, its range of functions is eminently suitable for aviators and aviation enthusiasts.The mission statement of the Breitling Exospace B55 �� an electronic chronograph watch that was teased but not officially launched at Baselworld 2015 earlier this year �� is distinctive among the burgeoning crop of Swiss smartwatches and connected watches in that Breitling did not want to create a watch that was “dependent on a smartphone yet less efficient than the latter.” In other words, whereas the timepiece is built to pair up with a smartphone, it is also equipped for two-way communication between the devices, so both phone and watch form a complementary pair in which each does w
