Breitling Colt 44 'Black Dial' - Reference A74387 (2012)

Heritage Narrative

Originally conceived as a robust military tool, the Breitling Colt line quickly found favor among civilians for its combination of toughness, legibility, and everyday wearability. The Colt 44, introduced in the early 2010s, embodies these qualities in an oversized yet balanced steel case, with Breitling’s signature rider-tab bezel and bold luminous markers ensuring functionality in all conditions.

This December 2012 example, reference A74387, presents the 44 mm stainless steel case, black dial with applied indices, and matching steel bracelet under sapphire crystal. Powered by a SuperQuartz™ movement—ten times more accurate than standard quartz—it delivers unmatched reliability and low-maintenance precision. Offered in mint condition and complete with its full set of box and papers, it represents one of the most practical and versatile entries into Breitling’s professional collection.
