It is designed to be a professional pilot's instrument, but it is not a conditionsine qua nonto carry it. HeBreitling Cockpit B50is a new multifunction electronic chronograph equipped with an in-house caliber with analog and digital indication – an exclusive development of the brand. A wide range of functions, ease of use and an ultra-readable display system are the keys to this piece equipped with a robust and light case made of natural titanium or with a black carbon-based coating. The chronographBreitling Cockpit B50It has the essence of an “instrument for professionals” with the elegance of a piece of great masculinity.
The exclusive CaliberBreitling B50, es un mecanismo SuperQuartz™, ten times more precise than conventional quartz, with chronometer certification from the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). The chronograph is designed for extreme missions. In addition to a chronograph with intermediate times and flyback function, it has a second time zone, a perpetual calendar, two alarms (with chime and/or vibrator), a “lap” function for calculating lap times, as well as a countdown with alarm. Among other functions, theBreitling Cockpit B50It has an electronic tachymeter, a “countdown/countup” system that allows chaining a countdown and timing, as well as an essentially aeronautical “chrono flight” device, very useful for recording flight times, saving the departure time, arrival time and date in memory.
Among its particularities is that, when using UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time, the reference time for aviation) as a base, theBreitling Cockpit B50It allows you to move through different time zones with total freedom. The “swap” function allows you to exchange the time indicated by the hands and that of a second time zone indicated on the screen by simply pressing a button, with automatic registration of any date change. The control system is simple and logical with selection of functions by rotating the crown and activation/deactivation by buttons.
Blank LCD liquid crystal digital displays on black backgroundBreitling Cockpit B50They guarantee optimal visibility in any circumstance. Its backlight system that is activated by pressing the crown makes it a real instrument panel. A “tilt” function allows automatic activation of the backlight when the user tilts their wrist more than 35º – very practical when their hand is occupied with the airplane controller or the vehicle steering wheel.
Finally, the digits are oversized and the display at 12 o'clock is made up of 7 digits with 14 segments, which allows all the letters of the alphabet to be indicated and offers greater interactivity. HeBreitling Cockpit B50It has a rechargeable battery to guarantee the necessary energy for this type of high-performance lighting. Recharging can be done through the network or through the port
