Winter is the last of the Rolex Daytona Automatic Two Tone with White of watches to be released. I think Breitling (Breitling) took about a year to release the entire set. Each of the Rolex Submariner Automatic with Green watches clearly tries to emulate a season. The Winter is among the most beautiful with its complex blue dial done in homebrewed Damascus steel components. The light and blue folded metals mixed with organic lines reveal a perfect wintry personality to go with ice and crisp air. The unique flavor of the watch is authentically low-production, and notably masculine in its stance.
The case of each Nordic Seasons watch is 44mm wide in mostly Damascus steel. This includes the middle barrel, bezel, and crown. The dial is also obviously in Damascus steel. Oddly, the picture Breitling gave me of the movement reveals a stock http://www.hhibt.com/aaa-breitling-chronomat-44-ib011012-b968-tt-wristwatch-5i2b.html without the special Damascus steel bridges that Breitling produces. The tech specs indicate that the Winter watches do in fact come with the the Breitling bridges over the 6498 manually wound movement that was tweaked by Soprod for accuracy and quality. A picture from the caseback of the Nordic Seasons Autumn is below for reference on what the movement should look like. Wait, now that I look closely I think that the UNITAS 6498 with the Damascus steel bridges is an option. Odd to have options on a piece that is so limited as is. Oh, and look for an upcoming totally in-house made Breitling movement with lots of Damascus goodness.
The "heavy metal inspired" (as I call it) dial is fitted with an 18k white gold hour marker ring and hands for the hours, minutes, and subsidiary seconds. It is a fantastic watch for those who appreciate metal work, all things Nordic, and medieval fantasy realms. Seriously, is there a better watch collection/brand that looks as though it would fit into the Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones world better?
In all its hand-crafted glory, the Winter is a perfect reason why unique watches from brands like Gustafsson and Sjogren create a love of quality mechanical watches long after the practicality of these machines has ended. Never be ashamed that you are wearing functional art on your wrist, and never forget what good art is. Limited to just five pieces in total, the limited edition Breitling Winter watch is priced starting at $19,000.
There aren't many Breitling Navitimer watches. These were made as a limited edition of only 5 pieces. Price for this model would be $8,300, and there are ones similar to it. For those who love the metal, the style, and the Scandinavian spirit of the watch, you can't go wrong with a Gustaffson and Sjogren - there just isn't anything else out these like them.
