EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREITLING ENDURANCE PRO

Both a lightweight (less than 65gr) timepiece for athletes and a casual sports chronograph for everyday wear, the Endurance Pro perfectly combines innovative technology with sparkling design : the ultimate athleisure watch. 

This special model is designed for mens and women with active lifestyles that combines a professional spirit with a sporty lifestyle. The Endurance Pro is capable of meeting the challenges of intense training, yet fashionable enough to be worn as jewelry every day. 

The latest addition to the Breitling Professional collection of watches is the Endurance Pro Quartz. It has a 44mm new and exclusive-to-Breitling Breitlight case bezel and smooth beveled lugs with a lug width of 22mm. A solid case back is fastened by four steel screws and has an engraved 'Endurance Pro' logo with a strikethrough effect located in the center of the case back.

Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, the company is the world's tenth most recognizable Swiss watch brand. While it is a notable luxury watch company just as French jewelry ones, it frequently trails Rolex in terms of public recognition. Léon Breitling left a legacy of innovative chronographs for industrial, military, and scientific uses. 

Breitling has anchored itself in the field of aviation-inspired wristwatches much more than other great watch-industry brands like Rolex. The company is a little older than Rolex, having been established in 1884. 

His biggest rivals on the market obviously are Tag Heuer and Omega, but we’ll see below that Breitling has more than one trick up its sleeve to outrun these fierce competitors.

Whether you're a city dweller or an outdoor enthusiast, this watch offers versatility that appeals to everyone. Offered in a selection of hip colors, the Endurance Pro model is an easy-to-appreciate entry-level Breitling sports watch that is perfectly suited to the times. 

It caters to a wide category of preferences, ensuring there’s something for everyone.The bold color combinations and ergonomic design make it easy to pair with other accessories, including jewelry like wristbands or rings, for a coordinated look.

Each color variation has the same matching color used on the minute's track, outline on the large numerals used for the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock hour marker, and a color band on the crown and top chronograph pusher. 

Additionally, the dial flange is in the same matching color. You can measure your heart rate since it has a pulsometer scale printed on it in either white or black, depending on the model.

The Endurance Pro features an ultra-light case in “Breitlight®”, a robust material 3 times lighter than titanium and almost 6 times lighter than stainless steel. Non-magnetic, thermally stable and hypoallergenic, “Breitlight®” is extremely resistant to scratches, traction and corrosion. With an owned warmer feel to touch than metal, this matter appears slightly textured, accentuating the originality of the design. The material is exclusive to Breitling and is entirely Swiss-made.

With a water resistance of up to 100 meters, this watch is not only a stylish accessory, but also an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and sports enthusiasts alike. Its robust construction, combined with the use of Breitlight for the case, ensures lightweight comfort and exceptional durability. However, be careful : while this watch does offer a 100 meters (10 bar or 330 feet) water resistance rating, it does not come with a screw-down crown and should not be used for any deep-sea diving. At most, it can be used for some light snorkeling, swimming, or showering as long as it's only in cold water.

It's in 2019 that chronograph specialist Breitling initiates a relationship with the American group, creator of the more than famous Ironman challenge.

Based on the Swiss manufacturer's famous diver's watch, this 300-piece series features a robust 44mm-diameter stainless steel case, a black dial embellished with the Ironman logo, and a red rubber strap.

In 2021, the two protagonists return with a new partnership that this time marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration, with Breitling becoming the new Official Watchmaking Partner of IRONMAN.

The new Endurance Pro Ironman watches will be launched in two versions :

-The brand's first offering is a red-dominated version with red dial, winding crown and strap. The model is sold to the general public by authorized Breitling distributors and on its personal website. This is the E.P. Ironman, a sporty-chic chronograph hightech.

-The second version, called E.P. Ironman Finisher, combines black and gold tones and, as the name suggests, is reserved exclusively for Ironman competitors who have crossed the finish line. The hour and minute pointers are coated with Super-LumiNova to ensure excellent legibility in all conditions, just like another famous Breitling : the Chronomat. 

The case shows off to the view gold rings, justifying the price.

The challenge holds many values similar to Breitling's : just as the watch is unisex, the challenge is open for both mens and ladies, not discriminating against anyone.

Other technical features concerning this case : a beautiful crystal Sapphire case, which is anti-reflective on both sides and a vintage bidirectional bezel engraved with a compass rose. The black dial uses luminous hour markers and numerals. 

The partially skeletonized hour hand and minute hand are made of polished steel, and both are filled with Super-LumiNova, a glow-in-the-dark fill. The winged logo is applied at the 12 o'clock position with the wordmark and year established beneath in white print.

Series numbers can be found marked in the lower left-hand quadrant of the dial with the word ‘Endurance’ printed in all caps and framed by a fine white rectangular line. Opposite the series name on the right-hand side of the dial between 3 and 4 o'clock position is the word Chronometer printed in white in all caps. 

A small date window can be found beneath it between the 4 and 5 o'clock position. The chronograph function, with 1/10th-second accuracy and a 30-minute counter, allows you to track time with precision and accuracy.

Equipped with a reliable Quartz movement, the Endurance Pro pre ensures accurate timekeeping, making it the perfect companion for the man on the go. The 44mm watch case width provides a bold and masculine look, while the sapphire crystal glass, glare proofed on both sides, offers durability and exceptional clarity.

Designed with attention to detail, this watch features a dial aperture calendar, adding to its practicality and convenience. With a battery life of up to 2 years, you can rely on this timepiece to keep you on schedule without the hassle of frequent battery changes.

Anyway, whether preparing for an athletic event or a formal wedding, the Endurance Pro pre offers a seamless blend of utility and sophistication.

The brand was always lucky to have its “Professional” line of watches in addition to its luxury base. This means that the Endurance Pro could easily fit into the modern Breitling lineup at a lower price point because doing that was never uncommon for the brand. 

It also lets the company compete at an interesting price point when you can’t get a Rolex, Omega, IWC Schaffhausen (named after the historic Swiss town of Schaffhausen), Longines, Philippe Patek or Cartier at this price point. This is TAG Heuer territory, but for a different type of client.

If you want to shop an Omega Speed Master, a Tag Heuer Carrera or a Rolex Datejust for ladies, you automatically enter a higher range of watches and the price elevates accordingly.

The best part about Breitling, compared with other luxury watchmakers of its category like Tag Heuer, Omega, Rolex or Tudor is that they value their female customers. Breitling has dedicated the Colt Lady lineup to watch enthusiasts ladies.

This is a feature that is not lost on consumers and a rare example of a company that understands the desires of women and premium watches as well. However, this model in particular is unisex and can be owned by any of the brand customers.

The Endurance Pro has a bit of a fun side too. The series has five models as of now that feature the Diver Pro strap. A comfortably sporty rubber strap in one of five colors, including white, navy blue, bright red, competition yellow, and vivid orange. Each Diver Pro rubber strap has the Breitling wordmark embossed on it and comes with a pin buckle.
