Breitling has reached beyond its traditional identity as an aviation brand and be to embrace a more well-rounded “land, sea, and air” approach to its new models. The latest example of this is its launch of the Exospace B55 Yachting, a Bluetooth-enabled, device-connected watch for sailors that follows up the original Exospace B55 watch, which was engineered for pilots. Whereas the first Exospace B55 from 2015 was chock full of pilot-friendly functions — electronic tacyhmeter, of flight times and block times, memory storage for departure dates, arrival times, and takeoff and landing times — the new model is equipped with a range of tools developed with yachting professionals and regatta competitors in mind. Powered by Breitling’s thermocompensated SuperQuartz movement, the watch includes a chronograph with analog and digital displays and a cleverly designed countdown system with audible, visible, and vibrating alarms and indications. The countdown timer, a feature emblematic of regatta-timing watches, is notable for the ease with which it can be reset and re-synched to a new countdown if a judge stops and re-starts the countdown to the start of a regatta. Chronograph split times, also useful data in any type of race timing, can be stored in the watch’s memory and displayed on either the watch’s digital screen or on a that is synched to the watch. Additionally, the notched, unidirectional compass bezel on the 46-mm titanium case can be used to calculate wind directions, sailing angles, and optimal starting-line positioning.The chronograph is also extremely accurate, able to tally up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds to the nearest 10 milliseconds. Like its predecessors, the Exospace B55 Yachting can be paired, via a dedicated app, with a using Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
