Leon Breitlings son, Gaston, developed and manufactured the first Breitling chronograph. Breitling watches are mainly known as Pilots watches, the brand is divided into five main collections: Navitimer watch collection, Windrider, Professional, Aeromarine and Bentley. One of the signature watches of Breitling is the Navitimer which is equipped with a manual navigation computer. Breitling even manufactured the Breitling Emergency with a built in emergency signal transmitter.
