Colt Quartz Chronograph

Breitling Colt Quartz Chronograph A73388

The Breitling Colt Quartz Chronograph – Ref. A73388 embodies the brand’s military-inspired tool-watch philosophy, combining robust construction with exceptional quartz precision. Designed for demanding environments, the watch features a 44 mm stainless steel case paired with a unidirectional ratcheting bezel with a 60-minute dive scale, reinforcing its professional instrument aesthetic.

The black dial offers excellent legibility thanks to luminous hands and hour markers. Its distinctive chronograph layout includes three blue sub-dials, providing clear visual contrast against the dark background. The chronograph functions consist of a 1/10th-second counter at 2 o’clock, 60-second counter at 6 o’clock, and 12-hour counter at 10 o’clock, while a date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock maintains the balanced dial design. A bold red central chronograph hand adds a dynamic sporting touch.

The robust case architecture incorporates a screw-locked crown with protective guards, double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and a screwed-in caseback, ensuring 200 meters of water resistance suitable for professional and active use.

Powering the watch is the Breitling SuperQuartz™ Calibre 73, a thermocompensated quartz chronograph movement that is COSC chronometer-certified. This high-performance quartz movement delivers remarkable precision of approximately ±10 seconds per year, significantly exceeding the accuracy of standard quartz movements. The calibre supports flyback chronograph functionality, enabling rapid resetting and restarting of the chronograph for timing consecutive intervals.

The watch is available with either a stainless steel bracelet or a leather strap, secured with a folding clasp or tang buckle, ensuring durability and comfort.
