Breitling Professional Skyracer features an automatic chronograph movement with highly readable tantalizers and dual time zones that effortlessly catches the eyes. The pilot’s time constrains are taken into consideration in the design of the slide rule. A feature that might appear archaic is the engraved Ground Air Visual Signal Code. But its appearance on a modern watch is no careless error but a flamboyant display of the illustrious ancestry of the Breitling watches which were made for professional pilots. Even, a child knows that the modern user of the Breitling is not often a pilot but a man endowed with a unique taste and who values horology as art.

It is good to get a quick recap of the essential feature of the Breitling Professional Skyracer . It is endowed with a stainless steel case with a well matched bracelet made of the same material. The bi-directional bezel too is made of steel. In addition to this the dial is silver in hue. In fact there is an exuberance of silver motif in these watches. The hands as well as the hour markers are made of luminescent material a real need for a pilot in the infancy of flying. The date is displayed at 6 O’clock position through a slit. It is a Chronograph watch displaying two sub-dials one displaying 60 seconds and the other featuring dual functions of showing 60 minutes and 12 hours. The watch is equipped with a self-winding automatic movement.

The Skyracer has an arresting visual appeal because of the aesthetically perfect look: a black dial, red hands and a wide red or black rubberized bezel. The watch creates the visual echoes of a technically oriented gadget which it was when it was launched. However, on the hands of a modern user these aspects are meant only for table talk. This enforces the human side of aesthetics that tells us that many things that we give value to is not based on utility but based on the perception of the value that each ascribe to it. All Breitling watches have achieved an enviable goodwill in the psyche of people who appreciate horology more as craft.
