About the Breitling Chronomat Collection

The Breitling Chronomat, initially launched in 1941, has a rich history rooted in aviation. Originally created during World War II, it featured a revolutionary rotating bezel with a logarithmic scale. This pioneering model laid the foundation for future aviation watches. After a hiatus post-war, the Chronomat resurfaced in 1969 with an automatic chronograph movement and in 1984, it was reintroduced with distinctive rider tabs on its bezel, designed for pilots, coinciding with Breitling's centenary.

Design And Features

The design of the Breitling Chronomat has evolved from early models that had slide rule bezels and two sub-dials to modern versions that now have three sub-dials. The dials come in colours like black, blue, white, and even rare green and yellow. Case sizes vary, with current options in 32mm, 36mm, and 42mm. Materials include stainless steel, gold, and two-tone combinations. The 2020 redesign incorporates “Rouleaux” bracelets and offers interchangeable rider tabs for versatility. The design remains functional with a strong visual identity, combining classic elements with contemporary features.

Notable Iterations

The Chronomat collection includes several distinct models. The Chronomat B01 42 features a quintessential tricompax dial. On the other hand, the Super Chronomat range, which includes the Super Chronomat B01 44 and the Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar, is known for its larger size and durable ceramic bezels. The Four-Year Calendar model uniquely integrates a chronograph with a calendar, while the Chronomat GMT offers a dual-time function with a 24-hour scale. For those preferring smaller sizes, the Chronomat Automatic 36 and Chronomat 32 makes for compact options. Breitling's Chronomat line features a range of limited editions, like the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham, Chronomat B01 42 Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Six Nations series and more, adding a touch of luxury and exclusivity to the collection.

Boasting a column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph mechanism, it delivers precision timing down to 1/4 second increments, capable of measuring up to 12 hours. Additionally, the B01 showcases functionalities like a hacking seconds feature and quick-set date.
