ULTIMATE ATHLEISURE
The new Endurance Pro IRONMAN collection serves athletes as well as luxury clients looking for the ultimate athleisure timepiece .
Its 44 mm watch case is made out of Breitlight ®, which is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel , but significantly harder . This exclusive high-tech material boasts exceptional resistance to scratches , traction , and corrosion . It also stands out for its antimagnetic and antiallergic properties , as well as its thermal stability , which gives it a warmer feel than metal .
It ’ s powered by the Breitling Caliber 82 , a COSC-certified thermocompensated SuperQuartz™ movement that is ten times more precise than regular quartz and offers a battery life of approximately three to four years .
The bidirectional rotating bezel has engraved compass points , and the tactile molded crown provides excellent grip and maneuverability . The hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova ®, making them legible even in limited lighting conditions . Along with a small-second subdial , there are 1 / 10th second and 30-minute chronograph counters that have also been designed for easy reading . The watch is waterresistant to 10 bar / 100 meters / 330 feet .
At present there are two versions available : Endurance Pro IRONMAN and Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher . The former comes with a red dial featuring a black inner bezel with a pulsometer scale . The watch is presented on a red rubber strap with a Breitlight ® double tang-type buckle .
It features a unique IRONMAN inscription instead of the Breitling inscription . The latter – black accented with gold – is targeted at athletes who ’ ve completed an IRONMAN event . This version will be available exclusively through IRONMAN channels , and its caseback features a special IRONMAN Finisher Series engraving .
The original Endurance Pro was inspired by the Breitling Sprint , a colorful and impressively lightweight watch from the 1970s . Its pulsometer made it ideal for athletes who wanted to monitor their heart rates .
