The Breitling Chronomat, with its now famous slide-rule scale, was released in 1941 and has been one of the longest running lines for the Swiss company ever since. The advent of the Chrono-Matic movement within the Chronomat happened during an interesting time in horological history, with companies around the world competing with one another to release the very first automatic chronograph movement.
This Breitling represents the perfect marriage between the iconic Chronomat and Navitimer design of the 1960s with the bolder architectural case design that became popular in the 1970s and the presence of caliber 11, one of the earliest automatic chronograph movements.
it comes with a high quality calf-skin bracelet.
Condition:
This Chronomat is in overall excellent condition. The dial and hands are in great condition. The external bezel itself is in very good condition with minimal signs of wear. The case looks sharp and appears unpolished, with some barely visible surface scratches from use. The caseback engraving is very strong.
The Cal.11 movement has been fully serviced. From our in-house test it is only losing 1 second per day with a healthy amplitude of 245.
