Breitling unveils its hi-tech looking wonder, Colt Racer, at Baselworld
Brand debuts its high-performance timepiece that retains all the qualities of an authentic instrument for professionals
The hi-tech looking Colt Racer from Breitling makes its debut at Baselworld. Fulfilling all the functions of a tool watch, comfortable, durable, legible, and reliable, this high-performance timepiece with a military background – it’s reminiscent of the MXS-R “Skyracer”, the high-performance plane on the Breitling Racing Team flown by aerobatics rising star Mika Brageot in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship – retains all the qualities of an authentic instrument for professionals and hopes to gain new fans with a more affordable price tag.
It’s a sturdy-looking watch, with its blacked-out 45mm case made from a material Breitling calls Breitlight, which is 3.3 times harder than titanium, yet 5.8 times lighter than steel. It’s also incredibly resistant to scratches, corrosion, magnetic fields, and is also anti-allergenic.
