Breitling Chronomat B01 42

Description & Details

The Chronomat holds a significant place in Breitling’s history. Introduced in 1984, at a time where extra-thin quartz timepieces were the order of the day, Breitling placed a bold bet on an impressively proportioned mechanical watch. Based on the Frecce Tricolori watch, which had been developed and launched in 1983 in collaboration with the famed Italian aerial squadron, the Chronomat celebrated Breitling’s centenary in style and marked the return of the mechanical chronograph to its rightful place at the brand which had built its global reputation on these incredible watches.

Available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, 18 k red gold, and titanium, the Chronomat features a 42 mm case and instantly recognizable bezel with its four rider tabs at the 15-minute marks. Available with a range of colorful dials, the Chronomat is matched to the signature Rouleaux bracelet in metal or rubber. True to the original, the Chronomat is powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronometer.
