The Breitling Professional Skyracer Chronograph Reference A27362 is a distinctive example of Breitling's commitment to creating precision instruments for aviation and professional use. Introduced in 2007, the Skyracer combines the bold styling of the brand's Professional collection with an unusually sophisticated chronograph display. Its substantial 43.5mm stainless steel case, highly functional rotating bezel, and technical dial layout create a purposeful appearance that reflects Breitling's longstanding connection to aviation and motorsports.

What makes the Skyracer particularly interesting is its unconventional dual-minute chronograph system. Unlike traditional chronographs that display elapsed minutes exclusively through a subsidiary dial, the Skyracer incorporates an additional centrally mounted chronograph minute hand. This allows elapsed minutes to be read directly against the outer minute track, providing exceptional legibility when timing events. The chronograph also features a combined hours-and-minutes counter at 9 o'clock, giving the watch a distinctive dial arrangement that separates it from more conventional Breitling chronographs.

Powering the watch is the Breitling Caliber 27, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement based on the proven ETA 2892-A2 architecture with an additional chronograph module. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement provides approximately 42 hours of power reserve and delivers the precision and functionality expected from a professional Swiss chronograph. Its distinctive chronograph mechanism is a particularly appealing feature for collectors who appreciate unusual mechanical complications.

The Skyracer also incorporates a bidirectional rotating aviation slide-rule bezel, reinforcing Breitling's heritage of creating functional timing instruments. Its robust stainless steel construction, screw-locked crown, and original 200-meter water-resistance rating make it a remarkably capable sports chronograph. Despite its technical complexity, the watch maintains the recognizable design language of Breitling's Professional collection, with strong case proportions, excellent legibility, and a distinctly mechanical character.

Produced during the late 2000s and early 2010s, the Skyracer A27362 represents an interesting period in Breitling's history, when the manufacture offered a diverse range of highly specialized chronographs. Its unusual centrally mounted minute counter, robust professional construction, and aviation-inspired design make it an appealing alternative to the more familiar Navitimer and Chronomat collections.

Offered here as a Full Set, this pre-owned Breitling Skyracer Chronograph provides an opportunity to acquire a discontinued professional chronograph with a distinctive mechanical layout and unmistakable Breitling character.
