There are watches designed to impress at a glance, and then there are watches that while they have distinguished pedigree, built to perform without compromise. The Breitling Colt falls firmly into the latter category...a purpose-built instrument that reflects Breitling’s deep roots in aviation and professional tool watches.

The Colt line has long been one of the brand’s most accessible expressions of its core DNA: rugged engineering, unmistakable design, and real-world usability. In this A17035, those qualities come together in a form that is highly functional and enduringly stylish.

Today's offering showcases this Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Breitling Colt with partial Breitling hang tag in gorgeous condition.

Breitling's Colt SuperOcean was originally operational at a depth of 1000ft. It has powerful, and sophisticated lines and a sturdy 40mm case including the crown guards.

What immediately distinguishes this Colt is its iconic rider tab bezel - a hallmark of Breitling’s professional models. More than just a visual signature, the raised tabs at the quarter hours were designed for practical use, allowing for easier grip and protection of the crystal.

The dial is clean, legible, and purposeful. Bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and a high-contrast layout ensure instant readability in any condition. There is a subtle warmth in the lume accents that adds character without distracting from the instrument-first aesthetic.

Powering the watch is its precise and reliable Breitling Caliber 17 engine, making the watch's functional capabilities as robust as its style.

We were fortunate to acquire our Colt in gorgeous condition - on the wrist it presents as a 9.6 out of 10.

The case presents as mint. So do the dial, and the crystal is scratch-free. The bracelet shows only mild stretch - its finish presents as mint.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing. It is running very strong and true, keeping very accurate time.

Accompanying the watch is a Breitling hang tag that is missing the rope.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Retail price for the newest version: $5,250.00 USD + tax.

Breitling watches:

"There has never been anyone in a plane's cockpit without a Breitling ... on his wrist -- or who would at least wished to have one." - Musings of an aviation journalist

Worn by Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tommy Lee Jones, the company's watches are favorites of Hollywood celebrities and anyone desiring to wear a timepiece of distinction.

According to Breitling, since 1957 the SuperOcean has earned a solid reputation in the field of diver's watches. As a true seagoing instrument with helium escape value the SuperOcean was originally water-resistant to 1000 meters (3300 feet).
