All mechanical chronograph parts are crafted in Breitling's own workshops and Breitling remains one of the last independent family-run Swiss watchmakers.With its 44 mm diameter the Galactic 44 adopts a technical and masculine appearance. The unidirectional rotating bezel is adorned with satin-brushed finishes and black rubber-inlaid hour-markers. The dial is equipped with two apertures for the day and date at 12 and 3 o'clock a compass scale and a graduated scale with 1/100th of an hour divisions on the inner bezel. The polished steel case is water-resistant to 200 meters (660 ft) and houses an officially chronometer-certified selfwinding movement. An uber-sporty watch for fans of performance.
