Breitling Colt Automatic Blue
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Breitling has built its reputation on bold, instrument-grade timepieces with deep roots in aviation and military tradition. The Colt collection embodies that spirit in its most accessible form — robust, reliable and uncompromisingly functional, with a clean sporting character that works equally well on the wrist of a professional or an enthusiast.
The Breitling Colt Automatic, reference A17380, is a well-executed 41 mm stainless steel sport watch with a nicely structured blue dial featuring raised luminescent index hour markers, baton hands, and a date display at 3 o'clock. The signature Breitling rider tab unidirectional rotating bezel — practical, grippy and immediately recognisable — adds both functionality and a confident sporty character. At its heart beats the COSC-certified Breitling Calibre 17, based on the ETA 2824-2, running at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours — a solid and proven workhorse movement well respected among enthusiasts. A cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial. Water resistance is rated at an impressive 500 metres, backed by a screw-down crown. The watch is fitted on the Breitling Professional II stainless steel bracelet with a folding deployant clasp.
This Colt Automatic is in very good condition and comes as a full set (manual & inner box missing). Just came back from a movement service.
