Breitling Chronomat

The Breitling Chronomat is a watch that was released in 1941 in Switzerland by Breitling SA.[1] Since then it has been one of the best selling watches produced by Breitling.[2]

History

The first Chronomat had a circular slide rule and its design followed the tension of the era for military watches.[1] The movement of the first Chronomat was the Venus 175 with 17 jewels, a manual wind movement. There were two variations of the first Chronomat, one in steel and the other in an 18 karat rose gold case.[3]

Current model

The current Chronomat was released in 2009 and was the first watch produced entirely by Breitling, featuring the in-house B01 caliber.[4] The previous model had a Valjoux "7750" movement. The B01 movement has a 70-hour power reserve and COSC certification.[5]
