Chronomat
The Chronomat is a trademark and collection line from Breitling SA first released in 1941[1] and is one of the company's best selling models.[2]
Features
The Chronomat was a patented design introduced in 1934 by Willy Breitling and the worlds' first two-pusher chronograph wristwatch.[3]
The first model of the Chronomat collection had a circular slide rule and its design followed the appeal and design cues of the era for military watches.[1] The movement of the first Chronomat was the Venus 175 with 17 jewels, a manual wind movement.
The current Chronomat was released in 2009 and was the first watch produced entirely by Breitling, featuring the in-house B01 caliber.[4] The B01 movement has a 70-hour power reserve and COSC certification.[3]
