The Breitling Professional Endurance Pro 44 University of Michigan™ Edition is not a sports chronograph. It is a watch that is more than just a watch, a combination of both the Swiss artistry, advanced performance and the eternal pride of the Michigan Wolverines.
You feel it immediately you put your hands on it. The ultra-light version of Breitling is virtually lightweight, but the rough texture and the durability testify to the timepiece that was designed to withstand the demands of both sporting activity and daily use. The dial which is decorated with bold maize and blue brings you instantly to the proud colours of Michigan and the unmistakable block M insignia indicates one of the most revered universities in America.
This watch is more than a tool. It is an icon of hope, established culture and pride, one that is designed by Wolverines who require the best.
Background: The Endurance Pro Line and the Michigan Legacy
The Endurance Pro collection sits at the intersection of athletic functionality and luxury lifestyle design. Initially designed as a sports watch of active businesspeople, it was designed to perform even in the most extreme environments, not only in the fields of training facilities but also in the forest, and still have the same coveted reputation of Swiss luxury watch.
The core of the collection is an athleisure horology philosophy: watches which marry rugged utility, precision and professional grade, and casual versatility. They have been designed to suit people who lead an active lifestyle, who balance style and performance, and want one watch that will perform both in the track and in the office.
The University Editions such as the University of Michigan™ model are based on this but interwoven with the heritage and traditions of world-class institutions. It is not just a watch but an emblem worn by all as a symbol of Wolverine spirit, bringing together alumni, fans and collectors around a single symbolic icon by merging the academic excellence, the athletic dominance and iconic colours of Michigan.
Key Features: Functionality Enhanced by Wolverine Identity
The Endurance Pro 44 as offered by the University of Michigan is not merely a book concerned with strong design cues; it is a book concerned with a combination of both functional and symbolic. All the features are meaningful and practical.
44mm Breitlight® Case — Ultra-Light, Ultra-Tough
The backbone of this watch is Breitling proprietary material Breitlight. It is unbelievably comfortable, being 5.8 times lighter than steel and 3.3 times lighter than titanium. However, it is very hard to scratch, corrode and magnetised and thus a case that lasts like the Michigan tradition.
Maize and Blue Design with the Block “M”
The dial features proudly the official colours of Michigan, spiced with maize and blue, with the block of M insignia being located at the 6 o’clock position. The watch is immediately recognisable by a slight but mighty nod to Wolverines pride.
COSC-Certified SuperQuartz™ Movement
Within, a Breitling Calibre 82, 10 times more precise than normal quartz, is the COSC-certified chronometer. Here, the matter of precision cannot be compromised and timing can be relied upon by the athletes and professionals.
Professional Chronograph Functions
The chronograph comes with 1/10th-second accuracy and split time and makes this watch a professional tool of timing. It provides split-second reliability whether you are on the field or on the track or just measuring personal bests.
Bidirectional Compass Bezel
The bezel is marked with compass directions, which provides handy navigation to outdoor adventurers and in the spirit of the Wolverines of adventure.
100m Water Resistance
Designed to last longer than normal clothes, it is water-resistant to 100 metres ready to withstand open-water swimming, sudden rainstorms, or any unexpected weather.
Custom Michigan Rubber Strap
The strap is made of a long-lasting blue rubber marked with the branding Breitling and with maize colouring, which contributes to comfort and endurance and a visual connection to the colours of Michigan.
