Reinterpreting The Classics

The Breitling Chronomat Collection

Introduced in 1984, when extra-thin quartz timepieces were the order of the day, Breitling placed a bold bet on an impressive mechanical watch that became an icon of its era. Nearly 40 years later, the Chronomat has been redesigned for a new generation of fans.

Every chronograph in the new collection comes with legacy features that make it instantly recognisable: the signature rotating bezel highlighted by rider tabs, the interchangeable rider tabs at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, enabling the wearer to either a ‘count-up’ or ‘count down’, and the highly recognizable stainless-steel integrated Rouleaux bracelet, with a butterfly clasp.

The watches in the collection are powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, an in-house mechanical movement with a power reserve of about 70 hours. Like all Breitling watches, the Chronomats are COSC-certified chronometers.
