From BREITLING As a privileged partner of aviation, Breitling enjoys long-established associations with the greatest professionals and flight teams on the planet � including the prestigious TOPGUN flying school, the US Navy tactics instructor program. In a meeting held at the NAS Fallon, Nevada base, TOPGUN members unanimously decided to signal their exclusive cooperation with Breitling through the creation of a limited edition bearing their insignia.
This Chronomat 44 chronograph, produced in a worldwide 500-piece limited edition and equipped with a 100% Breitling high-performance movement, features a blue dial in the US Navy colors carrying the authentic logo of the �United States Navy Fighter Weapons School� � the official TOPGUN name.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of this exceptional instrument will be donated to a charity selected by the TOPGUN cadre.
