Breitling Cockpit B50 Watch With Exclusive New SuperQuartz Movement
In-house quartz watch movements at Breitling? Pretty much, "yes," with the new Breitling Cockpit B50 timepiece in their Professional collection of watches. OK, so let's start by talking about the whole "in-house quartz" part of the conversation, as it is perhaps the most interesting, outside of the design of the watch. For years, Breitling has been sourcing high-end thermocompensated quartz movements from Swiss ETA. These come in a few varieties, but are contained in all the quartz movement-based Breitling watches, from their totally analog dials (three-handers and chronographs) to their various ana-digi (analog-digital) watches that have both traditional hands as well as two LCD screens. Breitling now pushes forward to create their own evolved movements based on the foundation that ETA laid.None of this means that Breilting is going to stop using ETA thermocompensated quartz movements in some of their watches (such as the famed Aerospace), but rather that they are adding a new flavor

Price increase again in February.
