2022 Breitling Endurance Pro X82310 44mm quartz $2,600.00 CAD. 515-00120

Breitling’s line of ultra-light sports watches reminds us of Tag-Heuer’s first Formula 1 watches from the 1980s; and lately the newest reedition Formula 1 models. The Endurance Pro X82310 comes in almost every colour of the spectrum.  The Tag Heuer F1 was an incredibly successful venture that arguably saved the financially struggling company with a lower priced mass-market sports watch. Breitling is riding a wave of success and the Endurance Pro is no low price, entry-level watch. They show a suggested retail price of $4,450.00 on the Breitling website. This price point gets you a very large composite black case measuring 44mm in diameter yet the watch only weighs 53 grams including the Breitling embossed rubber strap. The watch was designed with athletes and adventures in mind who don’t want to be bogged down by a bulky watch that can interfere with movement. The exact composition of what Breitling calls “Breightlight” is a company secret. This mystery material has been around for several years and appears tough and resilient under the demanding conditions you’d expect a Breitling to be subjected to. The Breitling calibre B82 is thermally compensated and should be accurate to a second or two per month with a battery life of around 3 years. The movement features a 30-minute, 3-register chronograph with a lap timer 1/10 of a second display. In keeping with its athletic design, a heartbeat pulse calculating scale can be found on the dial’s chapter ring. For someone who likes high-tech, ultra-accurate, low maintenance, sports watches, the Endurance Pro should be considered. An anti-reflective coated, sapphire crystal allows easy time interpretation of all the dial information.  Instead of a ratcheting timer bezel, which is made completely redundant by the chronograph feature, the Endurance Pro comes with a rotating compass heading bezel. The compass heading allows direction calculation in collaboration with the analog hour hand. Instead of the typical tachymeter scale on the chapter ring, the Endurance Pro features a base 30 heartbeat scale calculator. This watch has only been carefully worn by a watch collector/enthusiast customer of ours. It just returned from Breitlings service centre where it had a minor service of battery, gasket replacement, case cleaning, and water resistance maintenance. It comes with a service box, instructions, and the original bill of sale from the Ontario authorized agents where the watch was originally purchased. We are including a complimentary 1-year warranty. Estate priced at $2,600.00 CAD. Stock #515-00120
