Jettisoning the classic winged Breitling logo, the brand replaced it with the more modern version with a large “B” and switched out the Arabic numerals with simpler baton indices. The result is a sleeker, distinctly more contemporary everyday offering that nevertheless maintains Breitling’s idiosyncratic touches.
