Elegant Tool Watches for Women
The luxury watch brand Breitling was founded in 1884 and began producing watches specifically for women a few decades ago. These timepieces differ from the manufacturer's men's models primarily in their more compact size. Breitling also mostly uses precious metals for the women's watches, and often decorates the watches with gemstones.
A wide selection of colored dials ensures that there is something to suit every style, and with a variety of designs ranging from traditional to modern, Breitling ladies' watches offer a wide range of appealing options.

Breitling Navitimer in 32 or 36 mm
The Breitling Navitimer is an absolute classic among pilot's watches and is particularly famous for its slide rule bezel, which can be used to make a number of essential in-flight calculations.
Breitling introduced a special Navitimer version for women in 2020. This three-hand watch is available in sizes of 32 and 36 mm and embody the brand's successful combination of sophisticated technology and elegant design.
The case of the Breitling Navitimer for ladies is meticulously crafted in stainless steel or 18-karat rose gold. A two-tone version in steel and gold is also available. Matching link bracelets or leather straps complete the collection.
Breitling Chronomat for Women
The Breitling Chronomat is a real blockbuster for Breitling. Like the Navitimer, the Chronomat is a pilot's watch with cult status, appreciated for its robust build and excellent legibility.
For several years now, Breitling has offered special ladies' versions of the Chronomat, with a choice between the 36-mm Chronomat Automatic 36 and the slightly larger Super Chronomat Automatic 38.
The watches have three central hands and a date display at 6 o'clock. The case, made of high-quality stainless steel or precious metals, is often set with jewels like diamonds or sapphires. The dial design stands out for its clarity and refinement.
Breitling Galactic in 32 mm
The Breitling Galactic 32 is an elegantly designed tool watch aimed specifically at women. Measuring 32 mm in diameter, the high-quality stainless steel or red or yellow gold case is perfectly suited to slender wrists. The watch is water-resistant to 100 m (10 bar, 328 ft), perfectly combining aesthetic appeal with practical utility.
The dial features refined indices and filigree hands, optionally set with diamonds. The Breitling Galactic is powered by a quartz or automatic movement.
Alternatively, you can opt for the Breitling Galactic 36 with a diameter of 36 mm. Along with simple three-hand models, you'll also find versions with complications such as a date display or a chronograph function.
Breitling Superocean 36: Diving Watch for Women
The origin of the diving watchBreitling Superocean dates back to 1957. The collection initially consisted of two models: a three-hand watch and a chronograph. Both models were water-resistant up to 200 m (656 ft).
The smaller 36-mm version for women joined the Breitling collection in 2018. Thanks to its smaller diameter, this version is a much better fit for slender wrists. Bright colors also add a feminine touch. The watch is available with a white, orange, light blue, or black dial. A matching rubber strap or classic metal bracelet completes the look.
Inside all Superocean 36 watches ticks the automatic caliber B17, which boasts a power reserve of 38 hours but does not have a date display.
Classic Tool Watch: Breitling Colt Lady
The Breitling Colt was originally introduced in 1980 as a military watch with a focus on reliability, legibility, and precision.
In 1998, Breitling launched a 33-mm variant called the Colt Oceane, which was later renamed the Colt Lady. The watch fits well on any wrist. The design language was taken more or less verbatim from the men's models, which is why the timepiece looks quite masculine despite its size. It wasn't until many years later that a diamond bezel option was added.
Most Breitling Colt watches are equipped with a quartz movement, but there are a few models with an automatic movement.
Breitling discontinued the Colt collection in 2020. The Avenger line, launched in 2001, is generally considered to have replaced the Colt.
How much does a Breitling women's watch cost?
Prices for Breitling ladies' watches can vary widely depending on factors like the model, material, complications, and general availability. Overall, Breitling ladies' watches range in price from around 1,000 USD to just over 10,000 USD.
A simpler model made of stainless steel usually occupies the lower end of this price spectrum, while models made of precious metals such as gold or platinum, set with diamonds, or equipped with complicated movements tend to be more expensive. Limited editions or special anniversary models are also associated with higher price points.
It's important to note that prices may also be affected by factors such as general market conditions and demand.
