In 1884, Leon Breitling launched the Breitling workshop in the Jura Mountains region of Switzerland specializing in the making of chronographs as well as precision instruments. And, ever since Gaston Breitling (Leon's son) developed and made the first Breitling chronograph watch, the firm has been the leader in revolutionary design and innovation. That's the reason it's been frequently replicated in many Breitling replica watches. The brand, especially known for pilot watches, has 5 main collections: Navitimer, Windrider, Professional, Aeromarine, and Bentley Motors (the most recent partnership.

The Professional Collection includes watches specifically made for aviators, such as the renowned Emergency watch fitted with a built-in micro transmitter which when activated, broadcasts to the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency helping save lives when a crash or forced landing occurs. The Emergency Mission, Aerospace, Airwolf, Skyracer, and Co-Pilot are the other models in the Professional collection.
