About This Watch

The Breitling Cockpit B50 Night Mission is a multifunction pilot's instrument watch presented in a stealthy DLC-coated titanium case with military textile strap, purpose-built for professional aviators operating in low-visibility conditions. The B50 SuperQuartz caliber offers the most comprehensive function set in Breitling's Professional lineup, including a 1/100th-second chronograph with split-time capability, countdown timer, flight time calculator, dual alarms, second time zone, UTC display, electronic tachymeter, and a backlit display for nighttime reading. The analog-digital architecture uses two LCD windows flanking the 6 o'clock position, with traditional hands providing primary time display. The backlight function — activated via a pusher — illuminates the LCD displays for reading in complete darkness without compromising night vision. At 46mm, the Cockpit B50 is sized for maximum legibility, while the DLC-coated titanium keeps weight to just 100 grams with the textile strap — remarkably light for such a large and feature-rich instrument. The Night Mission execution adds a tactical dimension to the watch's already extensive capabilities, making it particularly appealing to military pilots, helicopter crews, and other professionals who need a reliable, lightweight, multifunction instrument for demanding operational environments.
