A pre owned Breitling offers access to one of the world’s most respected tool watch makers, known for aviation chronographs, deep diving models and precision engineering. The UK’s secondary market includes discontinued dials, rare specifications and references that may no longer appear at authorised retailers.
Opting for a second-hand model not only offers access to Breitling’s rich technical heritage, but also to configurations found exclusively on the pre-owned market - including coveted variations of the Navitimer, Chronomat, and Professional series. It’s a genuine dilemma, and many enthusiasts feel the same way. Should you decide to pursue a pre-owned piece, carefully chosen references are likely to remain highly sought after thanks to their durability, distinctive character, and versatile performance in both aviation and marine settings.
The value of a pre owned Breitling in the UK is influenced by several key factors:
Condition & originality: Sharp cases, undamaged bezels, intact lume and original dials typically retain stronger value.
Reference & specification: Popular references, limited editions and desirable dial variants frequently outperform standard configurations.
Material & design: Titanium, gold accented and two tone Breitling watches often appeal to collectors and can command premiums.
Box, papers & history: Full sets with documented maintenance add reassurance and support future valuations, appraisal, or potential exchange discussions within the UK secondary market.
UK provenance: Clear ownership history and strong authentication records are especially valued by UK buyers.
Our team reviews each value factor in detail to help you select the right Breitling model, with clear guidance whether you're exploring Breitling purchase options, planning to sell a watch, considering a watch exchange, or requesting an expert valuation of your Breitling watch.
Breitling was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling and quickly became synonymous with precision chronograph instruments for pilots, explorers and professionals.
