Collaboration with the State Police has resulted in two new models signed Breil. It is an automatic solotempo and a quartz chronograph, both with polished steel cases (41 mm the former and 43 mm the latter).
On the dials, with SuperLuminova luminescent hour markers and hands, the black of the carbon fibre is reminiscent of the 'Panthers' (the name given to police cars in 1952, and still used today). The touches of blue, for their part, also present along the stitching of the leather strap of the automatic model (the other has a bracelet), recall the uniforms of the officers.
Other references to the police force are represented by the depiction of the famous panther in action, the Polizia Sportswear signature and the tricolour detail on the dials. The movements used are the Seiko NH35 automatic for the solotempo and the YM12 quartz for the chronograph. Water resistance is guaranteed, for both models, up to 10 atmospheres of pressure.
"For the Polizia di Stato, choosing Breil as a partner for this project means focusing on Italianness and on sharing common traits and characteristics, as well as shining a spotlight on the concept of time, which is of absolute importance. Each of our actions is dictated by the frenetic rhythm and the scanning of moments that determine its success. What distinguishes the service carried out nationwide by the 'Panthers' is precisely the timeliness that, combined with the technique with which intervention takes place, guarantees constant closeness to the citizen. This is now even more effective thanks to the YOUPOL app, developed by the State Police to quickly and easily report incidents of drug dealing, bullying and domestic violence. In a hectic environment such as that of the Milan Police Headquarters, maintaining the right clarity to carry out every activity in the best possible way is fundamental"stated Milan's Questore Giuseppe Petronzi.
Simone Binda, CEO of Breil Italia, added: 'The meeting between Breil and the Polizia di Stato was an opportunity to share common passions and traits, which then flowed into the design of watches that represent the meeting of design and state-of-the-art technology. The Polizia di Stato inspired the designers aesthetically, but not only. It gave them the opportunity to concretely translate the concepts of dynamism, speed and action into two watches that will complete the uniforms of the officers and give an additional touch of authority and distinction in the most official and institutional situations, as well as in interventions on the ground. We are proud to be able to present this collaboration within the Questura in Milan, the city to which we are deeply attached because it is the headquarters of our company. And we are grateful to the State Police and the work it does every day for the citizen'.
