Breitling Relaunches Historic Swiss Watchmaker Gallet for its 200th Anniversary
Breitling has officially relaunched the historic Swiss watchmaker Gallet to mark the brand's 200th anniversary. The revived Maison, manufactured by Breitling, utilizes the parent group's technical expertise, manufacturing infrastructure, and global distribution network to bring Gallet into a modern era. The relaunch introduces four core collections: the Flying Officer, Multichron Pilot, Multichron Sport, and Gallet Classics. The Flying Officer, first introduced in 1939, returns as a 40mm watch with a reimagined city ring featuring 24 contemporary destinations. The Multichron Pilot and Multichron Sport models draw on the brand's tool-watch heritage, with the Pilot model featuring a 42mm build and the Sport model featuring a 41mm build. The Gallet Classics are special-edition tribute pieces powered by Breitling's hand-wound Caliber B09 movement. All models across the collections feature interchangeable quick-release straps in leather, rubber, field, and fabric, as well as stainless-steel bracelets with micro-adjustment. The Flying Officer Chronograph 40 is priced between $4,400 and $4,600, while the Flying Officer Automatic 40 is priced between $2,900 and $3,100.
