Breitling Jet Team to Perform at Dayton Air Show

DAYTON, Ohio - June 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Aviation enthusiasts will have an opportunity to meet members of the acclaimed Breitling Jet Team, prior to their appearance at the Vectren Dayton Air Show, which will take place at the Dayton International Airport June 20-21.

All eight members of the Breitling Jet Team will appear at James Free Jewelers in Kettering on Thursday, June 18, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages.

Based in France, the Breitling Jet Team is the largest professional civilian jet team in the world, and is comprised of seven L-39 C Albatros jets that can reach speeds of up to 565 mph – for the first time customized with “American Tour” on the tail of the aircraft in honor of the tour. Widely recognized for their precision and seamless coordination displayed throughout high-speed aerobatic performances, the team brings their unmatched flying to North America for the first time, mirroring the quality and precision of a Breitling timepiece.

"James Free Jewelers is honored to have the Breitling Jet Team coming to our store,” said Michael Karaman, president of James Free Jewelers. “Breitling has been synonymous with aviation since World War II, and their Navitimer watch has remained popular with pilots and aviation enthusiasts since 1952, which is a testament to its quality and accuracy. James Free Jewelers is honored to represent Breitling as an exclusive authorized retailer in Dayton and shares Breitling's commitment to excellence." https://youtu.be/ernc-3xtGKc


The Navitimer is now the oldest mechanical chronograph still in production, and has become a cult object for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Other Breitling watches that have become favorites among pilots are the Aerospace, which was launched in 1985, and the innovative Emergency timepiece with a built-in transmitter that was originally introduced in 1995 and was recently updated to a new version that will launch in 2015 and is the world’s first wristwatch with a dual frequency locator beacon.

To celebrate the Breitling Jet Team American Tour, Breitling has produced a Chronomat 44 in a limited 500 pieces. The dial is distinguished in eye-catching Breitling Jet Team colors, with the American Tour logo engraved on the case-back. The case houses Breitling’s in-house B01 movement, officially chronometer-certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute.
