Breitling Colt 44 Automatic Mariner Blue A1738811.C906.105X

Breitling developed the Colt for the armed forces in the 1980s, and the design still shows it: luminescent indexes for low light, an extra-wide bezel and raised riders that keep knocks off the crystal. The Colt 44 Automatic runs on the Breitling 17, a self-winding mechanical calibre with about 38 hours of power reserve, and is water resistant to 200 m with a screw-locked crown. The case is 11.25 mm thick and takes a 22 mm strap.

The same Mariner Blue dial comes on rubber (A1738811.C906.158S) and on a steel bracelet (A1738811.C906.173A), while Volcano Black (A1738811.BD44) and Stratus Silver (A1738811.G791) are the other dials. The Colt 44 in blue (A7438710.C849.105X) shares the 44 mm size and calfskin strap but is noticeably thicker at 14 mm.
