The Watch & Movement
Breitling U-22 reference U22-R-S. Inside is the trusty automatic calibre 17 movement, with a 42 hour power reserve.
True to its aviation roots, the updated date display was designed to reflect the view on an altimeter which balances the dial well. There is also a difference with the bi-directional rotating inner bezel, originally designed to measure 60 minutes, and altered in the U-22 to a compass quadrant of a pilot which is often useful in navigation weather mapping. Taking its design cues from this squadron timepiece the U-22 features a newly developed bezel design together with a new barrel colour and Custom-tested to elite standards date design for the range.
