Light as a boarding pass
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ยท
The Endurance Pro is made of Breitlight, Breitling's composite, and that's the reason to buy it. At 44 mm it should feel big, but it weighs almost nothing on rubber, so you forget it's there on a twelve-hour flight. The SuperQuartz movement means no winding, no stopping in a drawer, and a chronograph that's always ready.
What bugs me is the price. Between 3,550 and 3,800 dollars for a quartz chronograph is steep, even with Breitling's name on it. For a gym watch or a beach watch it's great. For a collection's only chronograph, I'd go mechanical.
