Vintage Breitling Advertisements list

Breitling’s history is much focused on aviation and chronographs, but it’s not only about that. The brand was founded in 1884 in St-Imier, Switzerland. It’s no secret that the brand has a close relationship with aviation, and looking at Breitling’s vintage advertisements, it’s evident that it was, and still is, a big focus area.

Most commonly known for its now legendary Navitimer model, the watches from Breitling are sporty, robust, and often made in large sizes. Of course, looking back at the vintage advertisements, you will quickly see that this has not always been the case. The market has changed throughout the decades, and so has Breitling’s offerings.
