BreitlingJupiter Pilot

KEY FACTS

• The Breitling Jupiter Pilot is an interesting footnote in Breitling’s rich history, and first launched in 1980 when the Swiss watchmaker was flirting with battery-powered quartz movements as a result of the quartz crisis at the end of the previous decade 
• The quirky Jupiter Pilot was part of Breitling’s Navitimer line of aviation watches, and combined the complex dial and bi-directional slide rule bezel of its iconic forebearer with a distinctive angular case and a quartz movement 
• This reference A59028 is one of the last-gen Jupiter Pilots manufactured from 1995 to 1998
• The black dial of this 1990's piece is a large source of the watch’s character thanks to its three silver subdials, a squircle date window at four o’clock, and ‘ALARM’ wording between the eight and nine o’clock hour markers
• Unlike its predecessors, there is no mention on the dial of the quartz movement powering the watch
• Beneath the rear caseback beats the calibre Breitling 59 - a modified version of the Japanese made Miyota C3510, a quartz movement with a two-year battery life
• The watch is water resistant to 100 metres, a depth confirmed during its last service dated December 2016
• Offered by a private collector in the United Kingdom
• A one-owner watch purchased new from a Breitling authorised dealer 
• Presented with its box, instruction booklet, and full official Breitling service history
• The vendor notes that there is some age-consummate wear on the slide rule bezel
• Graded ‘A’ for condition by the vendor who reports the watch to be in good working order
