Description
The iconic Chronomat was proudly introduced by Breitling in 1984; a time where quartz watches dominated the watch space. Breitling boldly took the risk of creating a substantial mechanical piece, capturing the attention of watch aficionados everywhere. This all-purpose timepiece is perfect for any pursuit.
Released in 1983 in honor of Breitling's centenary, the Chronomat was an homage to the Frecce Tricolori chronograph. This commemorative piece highlighted the mechanical chronograph's long-standing importance at Breitling, a brand renowned globally for its exquisite timepieces.
Crafted from intricate materials like stainless steel and 18ct rose gold, the Chronomat boasts a 42mm case and the now-iconic bezel with four rider tabs. Finishing touches include a selection of black, blue, silver and copper dials, the renowned "Rouleaux" bracelet and the Breitling Calibre 01, a COSC-certified chronometer.
