This stylish watch has maintained the same rectangular-shaped case distinguished by its opulent lines. The case design has been improved with help of two accurately integrated lever push-pieces.The dial of the Breitling Flying B chronograph sports a completely new design. It has been created in the most refined and luxurious spirit inherited by all the timekeeping creations that pay tribute to the Bentley, most prestigious British car manufacturer. The timepiece incorporated the following peculiarities:mother of pearl hour markers; hollowed chronograph counters; Bentley-livery inspired colors;knurled motif in the center of the dial corresponding to the steel, red gold or white gold case. Every Breitling Flying B chronograph has been individually hand-crafted. At the heart of the timepiece there beats a Breitling officially COSE chronometer- certified chronograph movement.There appeared the first ever ground-breaking LCD digital watch with six-digit display in 1973. Two years later Seiko released the first in the world multi-functional digital watch. The Seiko digital quartz alarm chronograph appeared in 1977. Due to the Seiko efforts quartz watches completely overwhelmed the watch*** industry. Many experts started to believe that mechanical watches would soon fall into oblivion. Still, Yoshikazu Akahane wanted to create a timepiece that would combine the best characteristics of both mechanical and quartz mechanisms. He continued his experiments and then shared his ideas with his colleagues. The superiors of the engineers were really impressed by his idea of developing an 'everlasting watch' and provided him with the necessary support for the project.
