COSC certified The only successful
Achievements not only in the field of aviation. In 1988, when Marcel Breitling Expo on display in the “Emergency” models of watches, he immediately caused a sensation. The waterproof tables equipped with a micro-transmitter, can be -20 ? -100 ? temperature range to the frequency of 121.5 issued 2 times per minute, pulse signal, firing range of 160 kilometers, continuous working time up to 20 — 28 days. The table can be used for aviation, sea diving, mountain climbing, adventure and other emergency help.
In 1995, should be NATO’s request, Breitling launched a specialized aviation for professional people have to survive the multi-function Chronograph function – “Emergency”. This miniature transmitter with built-in table may be on the 121.5 frequency in the 48 hours of continuous firing distress signals.
In 1999 by the Breitling professional appraisal company, a producer-flight cabin manufacture, and directly involved in the whole process of flight preparation “BREITLING ORBITER 3″ hot air balloon to complete the world’s first one-week non-stop around the earth.
Breitling has also developed the world’s only water depth of 1000 meters in a time function can still operate “CHRONO AVENGER M1″ professional divers watch. The table installed patented magnetic button device, with screws crown and automatic locking valve door, even if wearing gloves can be manipulated flexibly.
All depends on the Breitling for technical accuracy devotion. Super quartz movement (SUPERQUARTZ ™) is the representative of its dedication.
In 2001, Breitling has developed the “SUPERQUARTZTM”, than the general standard of accuracy quartz movement in excess of 10 times a year the error rate of less than 15 seconds. This is a can with the temperature and automatically adjust the movement to run highly sophisticated device than the standard quartz movement accurate more than tenfold.
In 2002, Breitling closure in the (LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS) the establishment of an ultra-modern plant “BREITLING CHRONOMETRIE”, focus on the development and production of mechanical movements. Established for the purpose of the laboratory is equipped with timer and wrist devices are very high-performance motor and in line with 100% precision when the entire production of the stringent requirements. It is said that the laboratory room pressure control and using the most advanced air purification system, a laboratory environment.
To ensure reliable quality, the mechanical movement Breitling and electronic quartz movement are handed over to the official Swiss clock precision Testing Center (COSC) to carry out stringent tests. COSC is an independent, neutral body, they have to for each movement have carried out a long 15 days and nights of tests, including five kinds of locations and three kinds of different temperatures extremely rigorous testing. In order to obtain precision clock center certification, mechanical movement of each day’s “error rate” must be less than -4 / +6 seconds, that is, to reach 99.99% accuracy.
According to Breitling said that because of its strict operation flow, can be fully adopted by the COSC testing. Breitling is the only electronic quartz movement can meet the existing “Swiss COSC certified (COSC)” of the testing requirements of enterprises. A figure we can see that their technology skills – Statistics show that Switzerland’s annual production of COSC certified watch was only 5%.
It is worth mentioning that in 2002, and the famous Breitling Bentley Motors brands together. Cooperation at the beginning, Breitling involved in the latest 2002 model Bentley Continental GT instrumentation system design, and Breitling clock installed on the car dashboard. This cooperation, to the new Breitling inspiration.
