Breitling has released a new model in its Chronomat collection that is suitable for both business and outdoor settings. To commemorate this, a Breitling fair will be held on the 5th floor of the main building, in the Watch/Promotion section, from Wednesday, September 9th to Tuesday, September 22nd (holiday).

The new Chronomat features an eye-catching butterfly clasp Rouleaux bracelet and a distinctive rotating bezel with rider tabs, creating a modern retro style.

When the first "Chronomat" was launched in 1984, it was a time when mechanical watches were experiencing a resurgence, following the dominance of quartz watches in the 1970s. At the time of its release, it was part of a collection that grandly celebrated Breitling's 100th anniversary, and it is said to have impressed with its ability to reclaim the reputation the brand had built for its chronograph-equipped mechanical watches.

While the Chronomat has long been renowned as a watch of choice for pilots, it also has a passionate following among professionals who venture not only in the air but also on land and at sea. In fact, its tachymeter has attracted the interest of F1 teams, and its interchangeable 15 and 45 rider tabs are ideal for regattas (boat racing).

The newly introduced Chronomat retains the distinctive design elements and spirit of the original model while incorporating some refinements. The unique rotating bezel not only protects the crystal with its rider tabs but also makes the bezel easy to operate. The rider tabs at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions are faithful to the original and are interchangeable, meaning that either the "count up" or "count down" function can be used.

The new chronograph model features Breitling's in-house developed and manufactured "Caliber 01" mechanical movement, boasting a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Like all Breitling watches, the "Chronomat" is a COSC-certified chronometer, guaranteeing its accuracy. The hands are also coated with Super-LumiNova® luminous paint, making them easy to read even in harsh environments.

We invite you to take this opportunity to see this versatile model, which inherits the legacy of the original while evolving further.
