Breitling Colt Skyracer
A night shift patrol officer in Arizona, on a Saturday night, taking a minute to get paperwork done from a shots fired call before the next hot call comes out. The Breitling Colt Skyracer was a gift from a mentor, given when the job started and meant a move. It was the mentor's watch for several years before that. In the officer's words, "It's easy to read even at night with the numerical dial and it's very accurate being a quartz watch." Who handed you a watch when you started the job? If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Breitling Colt Skyracer
Breitling introduced the Colt Skyracer at Baselworld 2017 as a lighter, more accessible entry to the brand. The case is made of Breitlight, a polymer composite Breitling says is far lighter than titanium, at 45mm across with a unidirectional bezel and 100 metres of water resistance.
Inside is the Breitling Caliber 74, a thermocompensated SuperQuartz movement certified as a chronometer by COSC. Breitling says SuperQuartz is about ten times more accurate than standard quartz, and the movement includes an end of life indicator for the battery.
