A rare aviation-inspired timepiece, the Breitling Chronospace Blue Impulse A56012.1 was produced by Breitling in a limited edition of only 300 pieces, created specifically for the Asian market, particularly Japan, to honor the legendary Blue Impulse.
This example is preserved in excellent condition and has never been polished, with all functions working flawlessly. The watch was fully checked and fitted with a new battery on 11.03.2026 by our in-house certified watchmaker and comes with PW Service Card and PW Certificate of Authenticity.
The watch is offered as a Full Set, including original outer box, presentation box, document holder, Chronospace manual, bezel manual, and International Warranty booklet dated 1995. The bracelet fits wrists up to 18 cm, with diving extension up to 20 cm.
Founded in 1960, Blue Impulse is the official aerobatic demonstration team of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, renowned for its precision formation flying and spectacular airshow performances. This connection is highlighted by the Blue Impulse logo at 9 o’clock on the dial. Among all Chronospace special editions, this is considered the rarest version, as most other limited Chronospace editions were produced in runs of around 1,000 pieces, while the Blue Impulse edition was limited to just 300 watches.
The watch features a stainless steel case, striking blue aviation dial, and analog-digital display powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Calibre 56 multifunction quartz movement, offering functions such as chronograph, alarm, second time zone, day, date, countdown timer and perpetual calendar.

Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Breitling has built its reputation on precision, innovation, and performance. From the early days of aviation to the modern world of exploration, Breitling watches have been trusted by pilots, adventurers, and visionaries who demand absolute reliability. Today, headquartered in Grenchen, Switzerland, Breitling continues to embody the perfect balance between technical excellence and bold design.
A pioneer in chronograph development, Breitling transformed the watch industry with the invention of the independent chronograph push-piece in 1915, followed by the second push-piece in 1934 — setting the standard for all modern chronographs. The legendary Navitimer, introduced in 1952, became the ultimate pilot’s instrument, featuring a circular slide rule that allowed aviators to perform crucial flight calculations mid-air. The Chronomat, launched in 1942, was one of the first watches to combine mechanical precision with practical functionality, later becoming a symbol of technical mastery and style.
Whether soaring through the skies or navigating life’s boldest journeys, owning a Breitling means carrying a legacy of innovation, adventure, and excellence. Every timepiece is built for those who lead with courage and live with purpose — a statement of independence, precision, and timeless Swiss craftsmanship.
