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 chronograph, 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 rightfully prominent place at the brand which had built its global reputation on these incredible watches. The Chronomat features a 42 mm case and the iconic bezel with the four rider tabs. Here in stainless steel with a blue dial featuring the Italian aerial squadron’s logo, the Chronomat Frecce Tricolori Limited Edition is matched to the signature “Rouleaux” bracelet and is powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronometer. The Chronomat Frecce Tricolori is limited to 250 pieces, all of which are engraved with “ONE OF 250” on the caseback.
