Breitling Chronomat watches
Both the Chronomat and a jet fighter have something in common, both are high operating machines that requires precision and power. In 1983, by request of the national Italian aerobatics team - the Frecce Tricolori - Breitling created the perfect timepiece to pair with their Aermacchi MB-339; the jet of their choice. The watch needed to be sturdy to hold up to the tight spirals and spiraling maneuvers made by the team in the sky. It needed to be easy to read so that with just a quick glance the pilot would be able to see the elapsed time. It had to be a chronograph watch with the ability to accurately and easily start and stop the chronograph function. It also needed the ability to grip the crown and adjust functions to match while wearing gloves. What Breitling created was the epitome of form and function. The watch delivered on all fronts and has become a familiar timepiece to see on jet fighter pilot’s wrists. The Chronomat is now made in various metal combinations such as stainless steel, stainless steel and 18k gold and all 18k gold versions. Although previously known as a pilot watch, the Breitling Chronomat 44 brings style, elegance and performance to outmatch any task you need to accomplish.
Style and Design: Form and Function
A watch built for a jet pilot must embody the high-tech machine that they fly and requires precision and power.

The watch needed to be sturdy to hold up to the tight spirals and spiraling maneuvers made by the team in the sky. It needed to be easy to read so that with just a quick glance the pilot would be able to see the elapsed time.

To the delight of fans, the iconic bracelet that the Chronograph had become known for in the 80s and 90s has returned. The “Rouleaux” bracelet, or more affectionately known as the “bullet” bracelet has been redesigned and relaunched with the latest Chronomat collection. This unique and iconic bracelet features links made up of barrel links that are satin polished with a high polish rivet connecting them.
Though the Breitling Chronomat has undergone many different re-designs over the years, the latest interpretation is absolutely stunning.
The Breitling Chronomat B01 42 collection also features a special, Bentley Edition watch. This watch features a striking British racing green dial with red highlights. Only available in stainless steel, this watch much like the other Chronomat 42 have an exhibition sapphire caseback to enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of the manufacture movement.
The B01 Movement
The first interpretation of the Breitling Chronomat with an in-house movement was released in 2009 and was designated the Chronomat B01. Today the B01 is the base movement for all manufactured movements in Breitling watches. This manufacture chronograph movement features a 70 hour power reserve, a vertical clutch and a barrel system to allow precise chronograph manipulation.
