Breitling Transocean Finally Gets an In-House Caliber

As usual, all versions are powered by Swiss-made movements. According to the officially disseminated specification lists, the new timekeepers will be presented in slightly oversized bodies 43 millimeters in diameter that seem to be absolutely adequate for the sporty-styled watches with their aggressive color accents and energetically sculpted elements.
