Breitling is best known for aviation watches and chronographs, but its pre-owned range covers everything from professional dive watches to more restrained everyday models. Buying pre-owned also provides access to discontinued references, limited editions and earlier dial configurations that may no longer be available new.
The exact reference matters. Breitling watches can differ considerably in case size, thickness, movement, water resistance and bracelet design, even within the same collection. Condition, originality and completeness should therefore be considered alongside the model name.
The Breitling Navitimer is the brand’s defining aviation chronograph. Introduced in 1952, its circular slide rule was designed to help pilots calculate information including speed, distance and fuel consumption.
Modern Navitimer B01 chronographs combine that distinctive dial and rotating scale with Breitling’s manufacture automatic chronograph movement. Earlier and discontinued references provide a wider range of sizes, dial layouts and movements for collectors exploring the pre-owned market.
The Chronomat offers a more versatile sports-watch design, typically combining a rider-tab bezel, stronger water resistance and Breitling’s distinctive Rouleaux-style bracelet. Modern B01 models provide approximately 70 hours of power reserve and a column-wheel chronograph construction.
Earlier Chronomat references can differ significantly from current models in size, movement and design. Bracelet condition, bezel wear and the sharpness of the case are particularly important when comparing pre-owned examples.
For a direct comparison between the brand’s two best-known chronographs, read our Breitling Navitimer versus Chronomat guide.
The Superocean and Superocean Heritage collections cover Breitling’s dive watches. The conventional Superocean has a more technical appearance, while the Heritage range uses cleaner dials and vintage-inspired details.
Avenger models focus on durability, legibility and a strong aviation-tool-watch character. Premier watches offer Breitling’s chronograph engineering in a more restrained case, while Top Time models draw heavily on the brand’s motorsport designs of the 1960s.
Together, these collections provide alternatives for buyers who appreciate Breitling’s engineering but do not necessarily want the detailed dial of a Navitimer or the stronger sports-watch appearance of a Chronomat.
Every available Breitling shown on this page is physically held by MVS Watches rather than advertised through an unrelated third party. Each watch is inspected and authenticated before listing, with its condition, year, box and papers stated on the individual product page.
Our inspection considers the operation and overall condition of the watch, including its movement, chronograph functions, case, bezel, crown, pushers, bracelet or strap and accompanying documentation. Model-specific details are also important. On a Navitimer, we inspect the slide rule and its printed scales. On a Chronomat, bracelet wear and the condition of the bezel rider tabs require particular attention.
Every Breitling is supplied with a 12-month MVS warranty and insured UK delivery.

Breitling can offer particularly strong value on the pre-owned market because many references sell below their original retail prices. This can provide access to manufacture chronograph movements, limited editions and discontinued models at more attractive prices.
The Navitimer is primarily an aviation chronograph and is distinguished by its circular slide rule. The Chronomat has a more versatile sports-watch design, typically offering stronger water resistance, a rider-tab bezel and the distinctive Rouleaux-style bracelet.
The B01 is Breitling’s manufacture automatic chronograph movement. It uses a column wheel and vertical clutch, provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve and is used across several Navitimer, Chronomat, Premier and Top Time models.
