Breitling Exospace B55 Connected

About This Watch

The Breitling Exospace B55 Connected is a pioneering concept that bridges the gap between traditional Swiss watchmaking and smart connectivity. Rather than competing with smartwatches on their own terms, Breitling took the opposite approach: a fully functional SuperQuartz pilot's chronograph that uses Bluetooth connectivity to enhance, rather than replace, its traditional functions. Through the dedicated smartphone app, the watch can receive notifications, transfer chronograph times to a phone for logging, set multiple alarms, and adjust the time automatically. Crucially, the watch functions perfectly without the phone connection — the smart features are purely additive. The analog-digital display with two LCD windows provides access to an extensive function set including flyback chronograph, flight-time recording, countdown timer, UTC time, and up to seven alarms. The 46mm DLC-coated titanium case provides military-grade durability while keeping weight impressively low at 115 grams. The Exospace B55 represents Breitling's philosophical answer to the smartwatch question: rather than abandoning the analog watch tradition, it demonstrates that Swiss instrument watches can incorporate digital connectivity while maintaining their core identity as standalone precision instruments. For pilots and aviation professionals, the ability to log flight times to a phone and set complex alarms via an app adds genuine practical value to an already comprehensive instrument watch.
