Breitling Unveils New Jet Team American Tour Chronomat 44 Blacksteel Limited Edition Watch
Limited Edition Timepiece will commemorate the Breitling Jet Team’s First American Tour!
To celebrate the historic
first tour of the Breitling Jet Team in North America, Breitling is
pleased to unveil the Breitling Jet Team American Tour Chronomat 44
Blacksteel timepiece. In a limited edition of 500 pieces,
the new watch has a sleek blacksteel case, onyx black dial, and
distinct yellow accents, which mirrors the colors of the Breitling Jet
Team’s fleet of L-39 C Albatros Jets. The eye-catching piece befits the
world-famous Jet Team, who are known for their precision
flying and breathtaking performances. The prestigious aerobatic display
team is the first and largest of its kind; comprised of seven L-39 C
Albatros jets that can reach speeds of up to 565 mph and 8G
acceleration.
“The Breitling Jet Team American Tour Chronomat 44 Blacksteel is so
special because it reflects what the Breitling Jet Team is about:
precision, speed and adrenaline,” said Breitling USA President Thierry
Prissert. “The Chronomat is one our most popular models,
and the first one that housed Breitling’s in-house movement, so it was a
natural fit to do a Chronomat for the Jet Team, who embody Breitling’s
spirit of adventure and audacity, as well as our passion for aviation.”
The Breitling Jet Team American Tour Chronomat 44 Blacksteel timepiece
features the Breitling Jet Team logo on the dial, while the caseback
features the Breitling Jet Team American Tour logo in vibrant color with
the limited edition numbering. This sleek yet
sporty watch is equipped with Breitling’s in-house
chronometer-certified Manufacture Breitling Caliber 01 movement and
features an exclusive five-year warranty. Each watch will be
accompanied by a limited edition commemorative Breitling Jet Team
American
Tour coin, which is only available with watch purchase. The limited
edition piece will be available exclusively at Breitling Boutiques and
select retailers we well as select Air Shows that the Jet Team will
perform at throughout North America on the Tour.
“The Breitling Jet Team is thrilled to be sharing our passion for flight
with North American audiences,” said Breitling Jet Team Leader Jacques
Bothelin. “For us that means every performance must be breathtaking; it
should convey precision, a mastery of flight,
and style. Those same characteristics are embodied in the Breitling Jet
Team American Tour Chronomat 44 Blacksteel timepiece.
The Breitling Jet Team American tour, which spans 20 airshows throughout
the U.S. and Canada in 2015, kicks off at one of the country’s most
famous air shows, Sun n’ Fun International Fly-In & Expo, beginning
April 21. The team will then make their way up the
East Coast, across the Midwest, and down the West Coast. Stops include
New York’s Beth Page Air Show at Jones Beach, The Lakefront Milwaukee
Air & Water Show, Boeing Seafair Air Show in Seattle, and the
National Championship Air Races in Reno. The Breitling
Jet Team’s full schedule is available at:

.
Breitling has deep rooted and privileged ties to aviation that have
spanned the brand’s history. Notably, Breitling equipped WWII
propeller-driven fighter planes cockpits with on-board chronographs for
the Royal Air Force in the 1930’s. In 1952, they launched
the legendary Navitimer wrist chronograph featuring a circular slide
rule, which could perform all navigation-related calculation and has
been continuously manufactured for over 60 years – the world’s oldest
and most iconic mechanical chronograph still in
production. Additionally, Breitling has enjoyed longstanding
collaborations with some of the world’s greatest flight teams, including
the U.S. Navy Blue Angles and U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, as well as
the famous Frecce Tricolori Italian elite flight team,
for whom Breitling developed the original Chronomat in 1984.

Oscar Winner Patricia Arquette Announces Scientific Breakthrough: Unveils World’s Largest Lab-Cultivated Pure Grown Diamond
The Federal Trade Commission confirms
that these diamonds have the same chemical, physical and visual
properties as earth-mined diamonds.
Arquette: 21ST Century Technological Achievement
“This is a true 21st Century
technological achievement that is the eco-friendly and conflict-free
solution in diamond mining,” says Arquette, who emphasized the extensive
environmental damage caused by mining and the history
of human rights violations associated with so-called ‘blood diamonds.’
She continues, “There is no blood
involved with this diamond, which is why it is beautiful in its
own-right, but it is especially beautiful because no children died for
this diamond; there were no slave wages paid to people for this diamond;
there was an actual working wage paid to create this diamond and that’s
about love.”
Red Carpet Wearers
Joining Arquette for the unveiling,
were Grammy winner Natasha Bedingfield, NBC “Apprentice” star Kevin
Jonas, "90210" cast member AnnaLynne McCord and other celebrities
attending Hollywood's annual Pre-Oscar Charity Soirée. The company
is working with several stylists whose clients will be on the Red
Carpet, Sunday night.
World’s Largest Pure Grown Diamond: Diamond Prices Skyrocketing
The world's largest Pure Grown Diamond
is the result of a scientific breakthrough. It is 3.04 carats, priced
at $23,000 compared to identical earth-mined diamond; priced at $40,000.
The company has created thousands of
sizeable carat, brilliant white, pink and yellow diamonds that cost
thousands of dollars less than earth-mined diamonds.
"The Pre-Oscar unveiling comes at a
time when rough diamond prices are at an all-time high - - up 75 percent
compared to 2009, due to depletion of natural resources," emphasizes
Bissell. "Consumers in search of affordability; Americans
and Hollywood activists concerned about the environment and people
concerned about the history of worker's rights violations and violent
conflicts in the mining industry are gravitated to Pure Grown Diamonds –
they are the diamonds of the future.”
Pure Grown Diamonds Rival Earth-Mined Diamonds in Every Respect
"During the past 70 years, many have tried but failed to grow scintillating, sizeable, colorless diamonds in the laboratory – until now," explains Dr. Devi Shanker Misra, PhD.
He is a world-renowned physicist and
inventor of the patented Pure Grown Diamond process. "No one, no company
has achieved what Pure Grown Diamonds has accomplished -- culturing
thousands of alluring diamonds that rival mined-diamonds,
in every aspect."
The Inventor & His Invention: The Pure Grown Diamond Process
"Pure Grown Diamonds is changing the landscape of the mining and jewelry industries," says Misra.
"Mining dramatically alters
eco-systems and wild habitats, unlike Pure Grown Diamonds, which are
marvels of technology that do not undermine the sustainability of the
environment."
Misra is a former physics professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Mumbai, India.
He is the inventor of the patented
Pure Grown Diamond process that cultivates incredible diamonds in a
Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition chamber from a small carbon
seed.
The earth's process of crystalizing
carbon is exactingly replicated in state-of-the-art, high-tech
facilities at Pure Grown Diamonds Singapore-based sister company IIa
Technologies.
The diamond seed is placed inside the chamber.
Hydrogen and methane gases are introduced.
A microwave generator pumps energy into the chamber that ignites a glowing plasma ball.
Carbon molecules rain on the seed.
Crystallization begins.
Pure Grown Diamonds mature within six to 10 Weeks.
The diamond is cut with a laser, polished and then certified by the International Gemological Institute
One carat round diamonds are the most popular for engagement rings in the U.S.
Pure Grown Diamonds quality one carat stones are priced from $1,000 to $3,000.
A one carat earth-mined diamond starts at $5,000 and can cost more than $10,000.
Most Pure Grown Diamonds are E-H color
and VVS1-VS2 clarity certified. The highest colorless rating is D. The
highest clarity rating is VVS1.
Many of the company's jewelry pieces are priced as low as $300.
Not Artificial
"Pure Grown Diamonds are not
artificial; not synthetic; not cubic zirconium; not costume jewelry.
They are diamonds," emphasizes Bissell.
The only difference between a mined
diamond and a Pure Grown Diamond is that one is grown in a lab and the
other is grown under the earth's crust, according to Misra.
Transparency
The difference between earth-mined
diamonds and Pure Grown Diamonds are detectable only by highly
sophisticated spectroscopic equipment and from Pure Grown Diamonds'
laser-scribed identifications on the stones' girdles that read,
"Laboratory
Grown."
Laser-scribing is a voluntary policy of transparency that clearly identifies the source of the diamond.
